The aspect ratio changes plot region of graph but does not change the
size of the graph. See -help aspect_ratio- :
" The overall size of the graph is not changed by the aspectratio()
option. Thus constraining the
aspect ratio will generally leave some additional space around the
plot region in either the
horizontal or vertical dimension."
You can use the -graphregion(margin())- option to remove the margin
between the inner and outer regions.
Perhaps something like this:
sysuse auto,clear
scatter mpg price || lfit mpg price, ///
graphregion(margin(zero )) xsize(4) ysize(4.5) aspect(1) scheme(s1mono)
