equal to one unit along the y-axis.
Use the WindowExtent and ViewportExtent properties to specify the units and the orientation of the axes.
Graphics device interface (GDI) makes adjustments as necessary to ensure the x and y units remain the same size
(When the window extent is set, the viewport will be adjusted to keep the units isotropic).</p>
