Hello,
You might try the ISOTROPIC keyword to plot.
From the online help.
<blockquote TYPE=CITE>
<pre>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</pre>
</blockquote>

<blockquote TYPE=CITE>
<pre>the rectangle defined by the POSITION keyword; one of the axes may be shortened.</pre>
</blockquote>

<blockquote TYPE=CITE>
<pre>See POSITION for more information.</pre>
</blockquote>

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

<blockquote TYPE=CITE>Assume that I have the following data

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</blockquote>
