Is it possible for force a square grid in Flot?

Question

I have a "real space" plot where I'm visualizing planetary orbits. I would like to force square x- and y-ticks such that I'm looking at a square grid on which the orbits are plotted. I've tried setting ticks, tickSize, and minTickSize all to 1 in the options, but this didn't work. (Note that the tick size doesn't necessarily have to be 1.) In flot chart ticks lines not uniform, there is someone trying to do something similar, but this seems to be pretty specific to EKG charts. Alternatively, is it possible to turn off auto-scaling? I wonder if this would accomplish what I'm after.

Answer 1

When your chart is square and has the same min-/max-values for both axes you get a square grid automatically. No need to set any of the tick options. See this example fiddle.

var options = {
    xaxis: {
            min: 0,
            max: 10
    },
    yaxis: {
            min: 0,
            max: 10
    }
};
