In order for this approach to work in general you also have to make sure to pass xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax to the show command, e.g., show(plot(sin(x),-pi,pi), xmin=-2, xmax=2, ymin=-2,ymax=2, figsize=[5,5]) It might make sense to add an option to the show command, e.g., show(...., aspect=True), which, if set, would force a square aspect ratio on screen by making the ymin/ymax/xmin/xmax large enough and likewise adjusting figsize. Alternatively, one could adjust figsize relative to the given xmin/xmax/ymin/ymax. E.g., notice below how as long as the ratio of the figsizes is proportional to the ratios of the x and y span, you get a square aspect ratio. show(circle([0,0],1), xmin=-2, xmax=2, ymin=-1,ymax=1, figsize=[5,2.5]) Thoughts?
