Isotropic graph scales produce a perfectly square graph, I am interested since I do alot of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and isotropic graphs do not distort the semi-circles you obtain with EIS.
Ok, Here is a data set. In the package that produced it you can select "isotropic scaling" to display a perfect semi-circle. This is needed so that you can spot "distorted" semi-circles. If you plot this in origin is distorts the semi-circle. Hope this helps explain things.
