st: graph y-axis equal x-axis in lengths

["b. water" <barleywater@hotmail.com>]

dear statalisters,

Stata 8.2 Window XP Pro SP2

i have done a graphs of twoway scatter type. y-axis and x-axis are of two 
differering scales. what i want to do is to make the plot square'ish i.e. 
the y-axis equals to x-axis lengthwise. in the past, for some reasons, this 
has never posed me a problem - i did "...ysize(n) xsize(n)" and stata gave a 
square graphs i.e. equal vertical and horizontal graph spans as well as 
equal vertical and horizontal plot region. this time it seems to have not 
worked. i tried empirically and got the plot squae'ish using ysize(6) and 
xsize(5).

for my own stata education, i am just wondering whether there is a command 
that i missed to enable formation of a square'ish graphs i.e. both for the 
graph spans and the plot region will appear square'ish when axes scales are 
not the same? any help/advice is appreciated.

i have checked [G] -axis- and -plot but could not find what i am looking 
for.

regards,
bw
