rotating an entire plot

hi,

matplot is great! my question:

   can i rotate a (scatter) plot 45 degrees
   anticlockwise?

ie. rotate from y|
                  |
                  -----
                      x

              to  y\   /x
                    \ /
?

the labels on the axes would also be rotated.
of course, i could rotate the plot elements 45
degrees clockwise then rotate the resulting
image anticlockwise

thanks,

jack andrews

It's possible to draw it, but you would have to do all the
transformations/rotations by hand, including drawing the axes as
Line2D instances and labels as Text instances (see for example the
"Scatter3D" example in the archives).  There is no easy, built-in, way
to do it, currently.  In the planned refactoring of the axis handling,
I'll keep this use-case in mind.
