Axes: Aspect

Aspect Ratio Properties

• Plot box - Relative lengths of the x, y, and z plot box sides. Uncheck Auto to specify values. (PlotBoxAspectRatio)
• Data - Relative scaling of data units in the x, y, and z directions. Uncheck Auto to specify values. (DataAspectRatio)

See Effects of Setting Aspect Ratio Properties for more information.

• Set axes auto shape - Automatically set axes shape to fit the figure. Adjusts the aspect ratio of the axes and the relative scaling of the of the data units so that the plot fits the figure's shape. Same as issuing axis normal command.
• Set axes square shape - Creates an axis that is square regardless of the shape of the figure window. Same as issuing axis square command.
• Set axes equal shape - Makes the length of a data unit equal along each axis. Same as issuing axis equal command.

See axis Command Options for illustrations of these effects.
