[yt-users] Plot collections on non-square slices

[Nathan Goldbaum]

Hi Mark,

You can manually specify the size of the figure that will be created by setting the fig_size keyword.  For example:

pf = load(fn)

pc = PlotCollection(pf)

fig_size = [4, 3]  # the figure size in inches

pc.add_slice('Density',0,fig_size = fig_size)

pc.save() # saves a slice of Density that is 4 x 3 inches.

Hope that was helpful.

I can make a slice with PlotCollection, but when I write the image to a file using save, I find that it has been padded with whitesapce on the left and right to make it square. I would like the image to have the same aspect ratio as the data, not be white-padded. Is there a way to do this with PlotCollection, or should I just give up and use FixedResolutionBuffer to extract the data and construct the image myself?
