How do I alter the height of any function plot using the Plot function?

Mathematica seems to limit the height of the plot up to the range of a function and distort the ratio of the Plot

Here in the above example the plot has a distorted axes ratio. How do I correct it?

  • $\begingroup$ Have you looked at AspectRatio in the options for Plot? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ That doesnt alter the range display it just alters the relative height and width of the whole plot not only the YAxis $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Oh, in that case, have you looked at PlotRange? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Tried that it does what I was looking for .But it increased the height of the plot graphic . Doesn't matter I can always use AspectRatio .I got this Finally -> Plot $\endgroup$

Maybe AspectRatio -> Automatic which gives a 1:1 scaling of your function? 

Plot[Sin[x], {x, -12, 12}, AspectRatio -> Automatic]

If you take issue with the tight spaced tick-marks you can control that with Ticks:

Plot[Sin[x], {x, -12, 12}, AspectRatio -> Automatic, Ticks -> {Automatic, {-1, 1}}]
