Set aspect ratio on 2D pgfplots plot
I would like to set the aspect ratio of a pgfplots plots without explicitly specifying width and height (i.e., leaving them default). For 3D plots, there is plot box ratio; for 2D plots, I tried playing with axisdefaultheight, but it just blows the thing out of proportion:
documentclass{standalone}
usepackage{pgfplots}
pgfplotsset{compat=newest}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
begin{axis}[
xmin=0.0, xmax=3.0,
ymin=0.0, ymax=1.0,
scale only axis,
width=2axisdefaultheight
]
addplot [red]
table {%
0 0
0.1 0.587785252292473
0.2 0.951056516295154
0.3 0.951056516295154

0.6 -0.587785252292473
0.7 -0.951056516295154
0.8 -0.951056516295154
0.9 -0.587785252292473
1 -2.44929359829471e-16
1.1 0.587785252292474
1.2 0.951056516295154
1.3 0.951056516295154
1.4 0.587785252292473
1.5 3.67394039744206e-16
1.6 -0.587785252292473
1.7 -0.951056516295154
1.8 -0.951056516295154
1.9 -0.587785252292473
};
end{axis}
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
The option unit vector ratio takes into account the actual axis limits, so after a bit of computation, this could be used. I'm looking for a setting on the axis lengths only, though.
Any hints?

I think you can just addunit vector ratio = {16 3}.

axisdefaultheight is not a length but just a macro, which is why 2axisdefaultheight does not work, but 2*axisdefaultheight works. But then it is probably the simplest option to specify both the width and height.

I think you can just add
unit vector ratio = {16 3}.– Raaja
