matplotlib and apect ratio of geographical-data plots
I process geographical information and present the results using matplotlib. All input is lattitude/longitude [degree]. I convert into x/y [meter] for my calculations. And I present my results in lattitude/longitude. The problem is to get the graphs aspect-ratio right: All graphs are too wide. Is there a standard procedure to set the correct aspect-ratio so I can simply draw my scatter and other diagrams using lat/lon and the result has the correct shape? On screen and on paper (png)? [added this part later] This is a bare-bone stripped version of my problem. I need actual lat/lon values
