title: Bokeh Plot with equal axes
body: <h1>Bokeh Plot with equal axes</h1>
  
  <p>I created a Plot with the <code>Python</code> library <code>Bokeh</code> (see code).</p>
  
  <pre><code>from bokeh.plotting import *
  
  figure()
  hold()
  rect([1,3], [1,1], [1,0.5], [1,0.5])
  patch([0,0,4,4], [2,0,0,2], line_color="black", fill_color=None)
  show()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I represent the squares (rectangle with the same width and height) with equal axes as in matplotlib with the command <code>axis('equal')</code>?</p>

  <p>I see the option to change the width and height of the plot or define the axis range to solve this problem but I think, there should be a smarter alternative.</p>
  
  <p>NOTE: I'm using <code>Python v.2.7.8</code> and <code>Bokeh v.0.6.1</code>.</p>
