I think an example of how to get the axis ratio is useful. It is not uncommon to want to do this to ensure the aspect ratio of drawn components (e.g. circles, squares) is correct. Another example I often have is to get the direction of arrows correct when the axis scales are different. Perhaps this would be a better example of this particular technique?
