Aspect Ratio in Optimal Scaling Charts

Aspect ratio in optimal scaling plots is isotropic. In a two-dimensional plot, the distance representing one unit in dimension 1 is equal to the distance representing one unit in dimension 2. If you change the range of a dimension in a two-dimensional plot, the system changes the size of the other dimension to keep the physical distances equal. Isotropic aspect ratio cannot be overridden for the optimal scaling procedures.
