Andrea, I believe that if you find ONE good visual aspect ratio, according to your figure size, that should do. Yo know your figsize, and if you know all in your axes([bot,lft,wid, height]), that this visual ratio should be easy to fix.
BTW, I did not understand why do you play with your "angle" = arctan(...), then compute sin and cos, etc. Two issues. 1. You are wasting your time. 2. If your data is a functional sequence, with x growing, its OK, but for ANY data you may get zero in the denominator, and your arctan will locally explode, producing holes in the plotted data. Use arctan2. Or rather, don't compute angles at all. Concerning 1. If you compute dx = xhigh-xlow; dy=yhigh-ylow; then the parameters of a normal offset are (nx,ny) = (-dy,dx), appropriately normalized, and that's all. All the best.
