Consider an axis with equal aspect ratio
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111, aspect='equal')
ax1.grid()
plt.show()
Adding a parasitic axis with twinx() causes the plot to completely ignore aspect='equal'
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111, aspect='equal')
ax1.grid()
ax2 = ax1.twinx()
plt.show()
Creating the primary axis with the keyword argument adjustable='box-forced' causes it to obey aspect='equal' but the parasitic axis does not.
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111, adjustable='box-forced', aspect='equal')
ax1.grid()
ax2 = ax1.twinx()
plt.show()
Interestingly, everything works if the primary axis is created with host_subplot (note adjustable='box-forced' is still required). However, it seems to be prone to a similar issue to #7648 if figure.autolayout is set
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import host_subplot
fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = host_subplot(111, adjustable='box-forced', aspect='equal')
ax1.grid()
ax2 = ax1.twinx()
plt.show()
