How do I equalize the scales of the x-axis and y-axis?

How do I create a plot where the scales of x-axis and y-axis are the same? This equal ratio should be maintained even if I change the window size. Currently, my graph scales together with the window size. I tried: plt.xlim(-3, 3) plt.ylim(-3, 3) plt.axis('equal')
Use Axes.set_aspect in the following manner: from matplotlib import pyplot as plt plt.plot(range(5)) plt.xlim(-3, 3) plt.ylim(-3, 3) ax = plt.gca() ax.set_aspect('equal', adjustable='box') plt.draw()
