[yt-dev] plot window preferences

[Devin Silvia]

I'm not entirely sure of what the best solution is for this issue, but
I'm game for adding that to **kwargs.  We might want to think more
about a solution to producing fixed image sizes (preferable!) with
length-width ratios perhaps based on their proximity to the aspect
ratio of the domain.  I'm guessing there will still be situations in
which axis labels end up cutoff, but a solution that is completely
free of drawbacks might not exist.  I'm glad that rectangular domains
now are handled more naturally in yt though!  Thanks Sam.
