### 9.3.37: ``resize`'

    `resize {x for maps}|{y for maps}'

Resize the axes frame region in such a way that geographical objects appear in correct proportions. This assumes that y is degrees latitude and x is degrees longitude.

- ``resize x for maps`' Resize the plot width for maps, assuming that x represents longitude and y represents latitude. Before using this, you must have defined scales for both x and y, and a size for y (ie, you must have done ``set x axis ...`', ``set y axis ...`' and ``set y size`'); this command sets the x size, thus eliminating ``set x size.`' The result is that, at the central latitude (y), a centimetre on the page will correspond to an equal distance on the earth, in both the north-south and east-west directions.

- ``resize y for maps`' Resize the plot height for maps, assuming that x represents longitude and y represents latitude. Before using this, you must have defined scales for both x and y, and a size for x (ie, you must have done ``set x axis ...`', ``set y axis ...`' and ``set x size`'); this command sets the y size, thus eliminating ``set y size.`' The result is that, at the central latitude (y), a centimetre on the page will correspond to an equal distance on the earth, in both the north-south and east-west directions.
