I am trying to produce (standard and trellis) scatterplots which use the same range of the x and y axes. In addition, I would like the plots to be physically square. Is there one or more specific argument(s) to plot and xyplot what would do that? I have looked at various combinations of
asp and pin value, but could not get what I wanted..

In lattice : aspect = 1

To satisfy both of his requests with xyplot, I think he also needs xlim and ylim:

 xy <-data.frame(x=1:10, y= rnorm(10)+5)
 xyplot(y ~ x, data=xy, aspect=1)
 xyplot(y ~ x, data=xy, aspect=1, ylim=c(0,11), xlim=c(0,11))

I was less successful in using xlim and ylim with plot, since it seems to handle the x-axis differently than the y-axis as far as padding out beyond the limits. I would typically need to set asp=0.85 to get what looked to ba a square plot. Suggest reading the documentation for plot.window() as a start.
