Reference Issues/PRs
This is a one line patch to make ratio equals when visualizing the four plots in plot_gmm_covariances.py.
Before the patch, the "spherical" case is visualized in a way that make the covariances appear non-spherical (top left image). This is confusing w.r.t. the name of the plot, and could lead to users misunderstanding.
What does this implement/fix? Explain your changes.
Adding the following line:
ax.set_aspect('equal', 'datalim')
solved the problem, and make spheres appearing as spheres (not as ellipsoids) where needed. Also this improved readability of the global figure.
