Scaling 2D graphs in Mathematica

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

To scale axes equally in 2D graphs using Mathematica, set the AspectRatio option to 1. This adjustment ensures that the grid forms perfect squares. Additionally, utilize the PlotRange option to control the visible area of the plot. These methods provide a straightforward solution for achieving equal scaling in graphical representations.

Using Mathematica, does anyone know how to scale the axis equally in 2D graphs so that the grid formes perfect squares?

I would do it by changing the AspectRatio (I think it's called that (look it up with Options[Plot])) from 1/GoldenRatio to 1 and maybe also use the PlotRange (or PlotRegion I can never remeber which is which). This will certanely help, but there might also be other more elegent solutions I don't know about.
