Hi,

Hi,
I need to produce an ordinary scatter plot and it is vital that the aspect
ratio equals 1.
I set the axis as:
plot(x, y, type=n, asp=1, ,ylim=c(-80,70),xlim=c(0,100)).
The problem is that I get some 'additional' blank plot area (basically, the
lower bound of xlim becomes quite
On Windows R 2.12.0, the following seemed to work for me:
par(pty=s) ## before plotting
plot(1:10,xlim=c(0,20),ylim=c(0,30))
I do not find that setting the asp parameter does anything useful;
indeed, the Help documentation seems to be backwards (asp=x/y not
y/x). I probably misunderstood

Thanks!
Ted's last example is a bit misleading. You don't get the same
result from setting xlim and ylim equal as you do from using 'asp'.
Indeed, this should help you to
set.seed(1)
x - rnorm(n = 1000, mean = 0, sd = 1)
plot(x = x, asp = 2000)
Could someone please explain what the 'asp' parameter is doing?

Hi,
From the documentation for ?plot 'asp' the y/x aspect ratio, see
'plot.window'. Here is a little demonstration of what different
values would look like:
#
set.seed(1)
x - rnorm(n = 1000, mean = 0, sd = 1)
# so that four plots can be in one window for comparison

You want us to read the help page to you?

Well, I had to look further into the documentation to see 'If asp is a finite
positive value then the window is set up so that one data unit in the x
direction is equal in length to asp * one data unit in the y direction'
Okay, so in what situations is the 'asp' helpful?

I'm asking to get people's interpretation and also whether they've encountered
situations where it was useful, helpful, etc.

The documentation is not clear. It would help if it had an
example like the following:
plot(1:2, 1:2/10)
plot(1:2, 1:2/10, asp=1)
Does looking at these two plots answer the question?

In general, it would probably help your responses on this list if you
were clearer in the first place
Spencer, you came up with your example just as I finished making mine:
set.seed(54321); X - rnorm(200) ; Y - 0.25*X+0.25*rnorm(200)
##Compare:
plot(X,Y,pch=+,col=blue)
##with:
plot(X,Y,pch=+,col=blue,asp=1.0)
With R left to choose the X and Y limits by itself, the first
plot gives the
plot(1:3) # usual way to view
plot(1:3, asp = 2) # convenient way to apply horizontal compression for
visibility
plot(1:3, xlim = c(0, 4)) # but if you have information on what the graph looks
like, you can manually apply the same horizontal compression
Was I going through some sort of gang
I understand Joshua, it's a way to display the plotted data in a graph. I've
been using 'ylim = c()' and 'xlim = c()' so far but it's nice to be aware of
'asp' too.

Thanks for your example as well. Ted's example was exactly what I needed.
