How to equalize the scales of x-axis and y-axis in Python matplotlib

Question

I wish to draw lines on a square graph   The scales of x-axis and y-axis should be the same   e g  x ranges from 0 to 10 and it is 10cm on the screen  y has to also range from 0 to 10 and has to be also 10 cm   The square shape has to be maintained  even if I mess around with the window size   Currently  my graph scales together with the window size   How may I achieve this   UPDATE   I tried the following  but it did not work   plt xlim -3  3  plt ylim -3  3  plt axis  equal

See the documentation on plt axis    This   plt axis  equal     doesn t work because it changes the limits of the axis to make circles appear circular  What you want is   plt axis  square     This creates a square plot with equal axes
