Thanks the -freeascpect works as expected and avoids me to figure out the needed aspect ratio. I had a look at the documentation and I found the issue mentioned here: http://plplot.sourceforge.net/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.9.4/advanced.html#arguments In my code I use the function plsori to set the orientation, which doesn't mention the aspect ratio. Would it be possible to add some information at the documentation of the plsori function as well? >> You mentioned the default aspect ratio so I started to play a little >> bit with the aspect ratio and with the following command the plot also >> looks fine: >> ./x01 -dev xwin -ori 3 -geometry 500x800 -a 2 > > If you specify the aspect ratio, I just double-checked that is what is > plotted at all -ori values (rather than the default aspect ratio you get > with -ori 0). I hope this explanation clears everything up for you.
