Size of horizontal axis

I have a plot where the y values are of order 10e^4 and the x values are of order 10^1.

When I plot these, the plot looks like this:

How can I increase the horizontal dimension?

Thanks in advance!

Look at the axis options. You must be using "axis equal" and since the y values are 10 thousand times bigger than the x values, you get a tall and skinny graph. Check out and experiment with the other axis options.

Hello, thank you for your answer.

What do you mean by "axis equal" and what other axis options should I try?

Did you try

axis auto

? Or maybe

axis square

I did not write axis in the code, I have only picked the xlim from 0 to 50.

How would you suggest I do this?
