Feature Request: non-square axes in axes3D #8593
Description
Currently, we can get non-square axes in axes3D based on a simple hack from http://stackoverflow.com/a/10328142/2135095, by editing the get_proj function inside site-packages\mpl_toolkits\mplot3d\axes3d.py:
def get_proj(self):
relev, razim = np.pi * self.elev/180, np.pi * self.azim/180
try:
self.localPbAspect = self.pbaspect
except AttributeError:
self.localPbAspect = [1,1,1]
xmin, xmax = self.get_xlim3d() / self.localPbAspect[0]
ymin, ymax = self.get_ylim3d() / self.localPbAspect[1]
zmin, zmax = self.get_zlim3d() / self.localPbAspect[2]
then in the code we can set the axes manually:
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.gca(projection='3d')
ax.pbaspect = [1,1,0.5]
it would be great if we can have some generic solution to achieve non-square axes.

The hack above doesn't seem to work any more:
So I modified
get_projin the following way:This produces the desired output.

For future searchers:
The way to set this now is via Axes3D.set_box_aspect([x, y, z])
