Ben,
The adjusting and aspect solution works just perfect, thanks for your
fast answer. Although i still want to ask for another solution for
reloading a plot, because i don't like the idea of serialization and
writing to disk. From what i've found even if i have a variables
handling figure and axis when i quit the window some part of it probably
form the window framework are deleted anyway. In this case i think i can
redraw all the artists on the newly created figure somehow but is there
a relatively simple way to just set up new window and attach the old
figure there?

Maciej,
When you close a figure, just about everything gets destroyed (this is
why you should always savefig() prior to doing a show()). There is a
mechanism for "reloading" a plot using python pickles:

As for setting the aspect ratio to 'equal', there is a second optional
argument that indicates which thing should get adjusted to achieve an
equal aspect. By default, it is 'datalim', I think, which adjusts the
limits of the axes. I think if you set it to 'box', it will do what
you want (you might need 'box-forced' if you are sharing axes). Fiddle
around with these settings to get what you want.
http://matplotlib.org/api/axes_api.html#matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_aspect
To have the axes extended on the whole figure area, there are multiple
ways to do that. In particular, you can set the margins for the figure:
http://matplotlib.org/api/pyplot_api.html?highlight=subplots_adjust#matplotlib.pyplot.subplots_adjust
All of this would work just fine with autoscale.
I hope that helps!

I'm using matplotlib for drawing lines, points and circles
basically. I
have 2 problems i can't solve by myself and it's hard to solve
them not
digging into source i think.
First problem: I got an instance of figure class and i want to
preserve
it during closing and reopening the output window. I'm curious what is
happening after clicking on close button on the main widow and is
there
any way to reopen previously saved figure, and if yes how to save that
figure for future reopenings.
Second problem: I want to achieve 3 things simultaneously,
a) have the axes extended on the whole figure area
b) unit distance on y axis has to be the same as unit distance on
x axis
c) all above has to work well with autoscale(), i want to have a
lot of
artists on the axes
The best thing i have is setting aspect as equal and using autoscale,
but it fix axes to be same lenght and i don't want axes to be same
length i want the unit distance to be the same
Thanks for any help,
Maciek
