I'm trying to draw a unit hexagon centered at the origin with the
horizontal sides parallel to the X-axis.  I've come up with these
co-ordinates for the corners but when I plot them, the drawing looks a
little too wide:

   hexCorners=. _2]\,0.537285 0 0.268642 0.465302 _0.268642 0.465302
_0.537285 0 _0.268642 _0.465302 0.268642 _0.465302
   'title Regular Unit Hexagon Centered at Origin;type line;pensize 2' plot
(],{.) j./"1 hexCorners

I can use my paint program to distort a picture of this plot until it looks
like it has a square aspect ratio (roughly, width height * 0.92 1.06) but
how can I plot this with the correct aspect ratio in the first place?
