set_data_aspect_ratio

Synopsis

Set or retrieve the aspect ratio information of the data.

set_data_aspect_ratio([ChipsId], ratio)
get_data_aspect_ratio([ChipsId])

Description

The set_data_aspect_ratio command is used to change the aspect ratio of the data. The ratio is specified as "a:b". If set_data_aspect_ratio is called without specifying a ratio, the data aspect ratio is disabled.

The get_data_aspect commands return the aspect ratio of the specified data.

• ChipsId - an optional ChipsId structure containing values to modify the currency state for the command
• ratio - the new aspect ratio for the data; options are "a:b" or blank.

For more information on aspect ratios, refer to "ahelp aspectratio".

Example

chips> z = np.arange(10)
chips> add_curve(z,z-4,[z*0.2,z*0.1])
chips> set_data_aspect_ratio("1:1");

Plot a line, then set the data aspect ratio to "1:1".
