How do I scale the x and y axes in mayavi2?

Question

I want to do a 3-d plot with mayavi2 using mayavi.mlab.surf(). This function has an argument called warp_scale that can be used to scale the z axis, I'm looking for something similar but for the x and y axes.

I can do this manually by multiplying the x and y arrays and then using the ranges argument in mayavi.mlab.axes() to correct the axes labels, however I'm looking for a more direct approach like that of warp_scale.

Thanks!

Answer 1

when "m" is your surface object:

m.actor.actor.scale = (0.1, 1.0, 1.0)

Answer 2

I was looking for the same feature. And it turns out you simply can't do it,
