Matlab figures: Axes of same length (in points, cm, etc.)

Dear colleagues,

how can I adjust the size of Matlab figures in such a way that the axes have the same height and width?

I am using the same axis limits and the command "set(groot,'defaultfigureposition',[100 100 750 750]);". However the figure axes still are longer in the vertical direction than in the horizontal direction.

Is there any possibility to properly set the figure or axes size of the same length?

Best regards,

Felix

see following (Plot Box Aspect Ratio, Data Aspect Ratio) in below link

Control Ratio of Axis Lengths and Data Unit Lengths: https://de.mathworks.com/help/matlab/creating_plots/aspect-ratio-for-2-d-axes.html

another way to make axes of equal length:

axis equal

The command "axis equal" works out for me.

Thank you Ankit!

Note that default figure size units are pixels which aren't necessarily square so even if the width and height values are the same, that doesn't mean the figure's actual width and height are the same. Also, the "position" property of a figure sets the size of the drawable area. If you'd like square figures including the frame, you'd need to set the units to something not dependent on monitor size like inches or centimeters and then set the OuterPosition property.

figure('units','inches','OuterPosition', [2,2,4,4])

That is good and important to know. Thank you Adam!
