Thanks for the suggestion. I suppose I could start the plot, then calculate xrange/yrange (or the other way around) and use this in the aspect_ratio property after the fact. Doing it afterward hadn't occurred to me, and it wasn't clear how to do it upfront because every plot is different. So that should work. Still, it would be nice not to add two extra steps.

Hmmm, actually, it would be nice if the axis steps (size of a cell of size 1) were the same in every plot, but again, the range is different from plot to plot. I'll think about a way to do that with "dimensions," although in this case I'm letting IDL pick the axis range and dimensions has to be specified in the original call.
