Re: plot a square.

Hello,

You might try the ISOTROPIC keyword to plot.

From the online help. 

ISOTROPIC

Set this keyword to force the scaling of the X and Y axes to be equal.

Note - The X and Y axes will be scaled isotropically and then fit within
the rectangle defined by the POSITION keyword; one of the axes may be shortened.
See POSITION for more information.


Note that the window size is not adjusted, rather the axes are.

Assume that I have the following data
x=[0,1,1,0]
y=[0,0,1,1]

this defines a square.

plot,x,y

results in a "non-square" plot.

Is there an easy way to tell IDL to adjust the window size so that the
square will plot as a square on my screen?

thanks
