Aspect Ratio Not Working [BUG]

[chelseas]

Details

I am trying to use aspect_ratio=:equal but it doesn't seem to be doing anything ...?

Code:

plot(range(-1, stop=1, length=31) , zeros(31), color=:blue, aspect_ratio=1.0)

or

plot(range(-1, stop=1, length=31) , zeros(31), color=:blue, aspect_ratio=:equal)

Result:

Backends

If you compare it to the version without aspect_ratio = 1 you will see a difference. What is the output you would expect instead?

[chelseas]

I would expect the squares on the grid are square instead of rectangular.

If you take into account that you have twice the ticks on the y axis than on the x axis they are square.

Oh I'm sorry you're right this is silly of me. The grid is not square and that threw me off. Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

This does not seem to work on my setup.
Julia 1.9.4
Plots v1.39.0
PlotlyJS v0.18.12

using Plots
plotly()  
xs = [1,2,3, 4]  
ys = [10,20,30, 40]  
scatter(xs, ys, aspect_ratio=1)  

I can pass any number as well as :equal to the aspect_ratio argument without any affect on the plot.

..follow up. more testing with the same setup, now confirms that it does work.

..2nd follow up. The problem is back again.
