Re: [R] Plotting proportions
Hi Nick, If you can bear using R base graphics, the plotrix package has a function named "getYmult" that allows you to adjust for the aspect ratio of any plot area.

Re: [R] Plotting proportions
... and following up on Rui's reply, assuming that the default (in R, not RStudio) "m" is being used, I would assume that the aspect ratio in the RStudio device depends on the layout of your windows. Also, you might do better asking here, https://community.rstudio.com/ , than on this list.

Re: [R] Plotting proportions
Hello, There's a graphics parameter for aspect ratio that you can set asp=1 on a plot by plot basis. But you also need to change pty. From ?par: pty A character specifying the type of plot region to be used; "s" generates a square plotting region and "m" generates the maximal plotting region. old_par <- par(pty = "s") plot(1, asp = 1) par(old_par) Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Às 14:13 de 03/04/2022, Nick Wray escreveu: Hello If you plot a square in the default R studio window you see a rectangle.
