[Gnuplot-bugs] Scaling errors

[Emily M. <emi...@mi...>]

I am plotting the flight of a remote-controlled toy aeroplane in three
dimensions using the splot function. I cannot set the three axes to have
the same scale, metres to centimetres, with no distortions. 

Using 'set size ratio -1' scales the axes but not the units in them i.e.
the 250m-long x-axis is the same length as the 450m-long y-axis, and the
z-axis is unchanged. Re-sizing the window (canvas?) in which a simple
display is produced also changes the relative scaling of the axes.

If it exists, the command to lock scaling of the axes should be made
available or more prominent in the Help pages. If it does not exist, it
would be a great help in plotting anything related to a physical
three-dimensional quantity where distortions are not acceptable.
