Allow square-fixed dot dimensions

Issue #45 new
Robert Leach created an issue

Current ability to make the dots square-shaped reduces the area in which the matrix can be displayed. Also, zooming will change the dot shape after doing this. We should allow the user to fix the dot shape despite zooming. And zooming would fill the available area with square-shaped dots.

    This isn't currently possible since the code prevents a partial dot being drawn on the edges. This would need a complete re-write of the way the matrix is drawn.

    I think that this feature is only really useful for export and too problematic for the interactive matrix to fully support, however I think we can bring back the ability to adjust the zoom of individual axes by using modifier keys for the zoom buttons. Or we could create the ability to snap the window dimensions to make the matrix have square tiles by adjusting either(both) the window dimensions and the sizes of the matrix/label/tree areas. Also, making the global matrix view have square tiles would satisfy the needs of users to a large extent.
