Description
Bug report
Bug summary
axes has no method to return new position after box is adjusted due to aspect ratio...
Code for reproduction
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(2,4))
print(ax.get_position())
ax.set_aspect(1.)
print(ax.get_position(original=False))Actual outcome
Bbox(x0=0.125, y0=0.10999999999999999, x1=0.9, y1=0.88)
Bbox(x0=0.125, y0=0.10999999999999999, x1=0.9, y1=0.88)
Expected/Desired outcome
Bbox(x0=0.125, y0=0.10999999999999999, x1=0.9, y1=0.88)
Bbox(x0=0.125, y0=0.30125, x1=0.9, y1=0.68875)
Source of issue
axes.get_position() is pretty simple, but always returns the frozen version of the axes position...
def get_position(self, original=False):
'Return the a copy of the axes rectangle as a Bbox'
if original:
return self._originalPosition.frozen()
else:
return self._position.frozen()However, in axes.apply_aspect() this code is executed that changes the box size:
figW, figH = self.get_figure().get_size_inches()
fig_aspect = figH / figW
if self._adjustable in ['box', 'box-forced']:
if aspect_scale_mode == "log":
box_aspect = A * self.get_data_ratio_log()
else:
box_aspect = A * self.get_data_ratio()
pb = position.frozen()
pb1 = pb.shrunk_to_aspect(box_aspect, pb, fig_aspect)
self.set_position(pb1.anchored(self.get_anchor(), pb), 'active')
returnIt would be nice if we could somehow get at the new bbox:
pb1 = pb.shrunk_to_aspect(box_aspect, pb, fig_aspect)
pb1 = pb1.anchored(self.get_anchor(), pb)I don't understand why in both cases the frozen position is returned in ax.get_position() rather than the current position. But maybe a new method get_adjusted_position() would work if we don't want to change get_position()?
