# Stretching a parametric plot [closed]

I am trying to plot the simple parametric function given by

ParametricPlot[{0.5 x (1 - x^2), 0.5 x (1 + x^2)}, {x, 0, 0.75},
AxesLabel -> {a, b}]


Mathematica plots it but the graph is squashed. Is there a way to stretch the axes (in particular the a-axis) so it looks more presentable. Thanks.

• Try AspectRatio -> 1/GoldenRatio or AspectRatio -> 1 – eldo Dec 4 '15 at 0:21
