#' Cartesian coordinates with fixed "aspect ratio"
#'
#' A fixed scale coordinate system forces a specified ratio between the
#' physical representation of data units on the axes. The ratio represents the
#' number of units on the y-axis equivalent to one unit on the x-axis. The
#' default, `ratio = 1`, ensures that one unit on the x-axis is the same
#' length as one unit on the y-axis. Ratios higher than one make units on the
#' y axis longer than units on the x-axis, and vice versa. This is similar to
#' [MASS::eqscplot()], but it works for all types of graphics.
