I hope the following simpler example will clarify. Notes explain what the
ratio is.
data1 =: _1 0j_1 1 0j1 _1 ,: _2 _1 0 1 2
NB. a square and a straight line
data2 =: 0 { data1 NB. a square
plot data1 NB. plot shows square as parallelogram
ratio data1 NB. this ratio is (1 - _1) % 2 - _2, see plot
0.5
'aspect 0.5' plot data1 NB. plot shows square as square
plot data2 NB. plot shows square as a parallelogram
ratio data2 NB. this ratio is (1 - _1) % 1 - _1, see plot
1
'aspect 1' plot data2 NB. plot show square as square
