set size (<width>|ratio <ratio>|noratio|square)
The setting size is deprecated; use set width instead. It sets the width of the plot in centimetres. However, the command set size, when followed by the keyword ratio, is still used to set the aspect ratio of plots. See the ‘ratio’ setting below for details.
set size noratio
Running:
set size noratio
resets PyXPlot to produce plots with its default aspect ratio, which is the golden section. Other aspect ratios can be set with the set size ratio command.
set size ratio <ratio>
The command:
set size ratio x
sets the aspect ratio of plots produced by PyXPlot. The height of resulting plots will equal the plot width, as set by the set width command, muliplied by this aspect ratio. The value in the above statement can be substituted with any positive value, for example:
set size ratio 2.0
would cause PyXPlot to produce plots that are twice as high as they are wide.
The default aspect ratio which PyXPlot uses is a golden ratio of , which matches that of a sheet of A4 paper.
set size square
The command:
set size square
sets PyXPlot to produce square plots, i.e. with unit aspect ratio. Other aspect ratios can be set with the set size ratio command.
