How do I change the size of a graph/plot to be longer?

I have a plot that looks very stretched to the left and right. Is there a way to stretch the graph in the vertical direction?

Thanks!

You can always specify the axis with

axis([xmin xmax ymin ymax])

or stretch the window manually - also, is it a problem with the depiction or with the data itself?

Perhaps try:

axis equal

Hope this helps!

the data is fine, the plot displaying it is just squished...

Try axis options like "axis equal", "axis square", etc. If those don't do it for you then set the position property of the axis, like this:

handleToAxis.Units = 'normalized';  % Or leave as pixels if you want.
handleToAxis.Position = [x, y, width, height]; % If normalized units, all values are between 0 and 1
