The scaling for axes X,Y and Z that I specify in the procedure scale3 is overridden. I don't understand why? Could someone point out what is wrong with my code?

The width of a box is n1/2-1(~128 points) and it is more than the height(98 points). 

n1=257
n2=257
n3=98

file='test.ps'

set_plot,'Z'
erase,255

scale3,XRange=[0,n1-1],YRange=[0,n2-1],ZRange=[0,n3-1],az=-30,ax=30

Do you mean mean the display is anisotropic? Just add:

device, set_resolution=[500, 500]

after you change to the Z-buffer device. This is what I get:

  • Thanks Michael. The set_resolution keyword did help. I was looking for something that is similar to my 2nd image in my post. – Simon Ranjith Jul 25 '19 at 16:40
