While ISOTROPIC certainly gives a plot with a square
aspect ratio, it doesn't put the plot in the center
of the window, where I think it belongs. There is
still a need for the ol' ASPECT program from my
web page. Plus, you get the bonus of getting to make
plots with other aspect ratios, too. :-)

IDL> Plot, findgen(11), Position=Aspect(1.0)

You can find ASPECT here:

Cheers,

David

Dunno about '92 but it's in the printed docs I have for v5.3, sept 1999. And it's not
listed in any "What's new" docs I have.

DOH!
How long has that been around??
It is a little more convenient than my huge Square_window.pro routine that
laboriously saves/calculates/restores etc.
Hmm, maybe I should check out the help files, perhaps
things have changed since I first used the plot routine in 1992.
DOH!

Thanks for the tip!

cheers,
bob


PS please don't tell me that keyword was available back in 92. :)

I think you want Plot, /Isotropic.
