It seems odd to me that there should be aget_scale but noset_scale. I'm also mildly bothered by the fact that methods outside of Axis have to call the "private" methods. I don't have any suggestions here, just airing my thoughts...

Thanks for doing this@tacaswell .

Yeah -- marking as 1.3.x, but I want to think on this for a bit. I can't help thinking there might be a better way.

Currently all of the calls to_set_scale are in methods ofaxes object methods, so it's not that bad.

My thoughts on this are colored by c++ style friend relationships. I don't see how anaxis is useful outside of anaxes or anaxes is useful without anaxis so the has-a and is-a relationships get fuzzy.

Sorry about the spelling errors, did not realize the spell checker was not working.

I copied the import ofmplDeprecation out ofaxes.py, should I make a PR to fix that too?

@tacaswell Yes please. That must be a left over when mplDeprecation was in theinit.py file.
