<h5 class="subsubsection">15.2.2.1 Aspect Ratio</h5>
<p>For three-dimensional plots the aspect ratio can be set for data with
<code>daspect</code> and for the plot box with <code>pbaspect</code>.
See <a href="Axis-Configuration.html#Axis-Configuration">Axis Configuration</a> for controlling the x-, y-, and z-limits for
plotting.
