aimstools.bandstructures.brillouinezone.set_axes_equal(ax)[source]¶

Make axes of 3D plot have equal scale so that spheres appear as spheres, cubes as cubes, etc.. This is one possible solution to Matplotlib’s ax.set_aspect(‘equal’) and ax.axis(‘equal’) not working for 3D.

Input: ax: a matplotlib axis, e.g., as output from plt.gca().
