    $\begingroup$ possible duplicate of AspectRatio option works unpredictably? $\endgroup$ Commented May 18, 2015 at 18:15

    $\begingroup$ @David My intention was to create a summary question where many aspects of working of the AspectRatio options would be summarized and cleared out. That question was too highly specialized, this is intended as a clarification of the Documentation for AspectRatio which is misleading. $\endgroup$ Commented May 18, 2015 at 18:21

    $\begingroup$ It seems to me that a mathematical model would be exceedingly complicated to arrive at in this case. The aspect ratio one calculates from the dimensions of a rasterized output depends on how much space had to be allocated to things like ticks and axes etc. This in turn depends not only on the data to be plotted, but also on adventitious parameters such as font size, tick choice, etc. $\endgroup$ Commented May 18, 2015 at 18:50
  • $\begingroup$ @MarcoB The mathematical model may describe just relationships between numerical values of parameters and do not account for symbolic values (such as All etc.). In this case font size, tick choice, etc. does not matter. $\endgroup$ Commented May 19, 2015 at 0:14

    $\begingroup$ This question has my support. If I have time it will also have my answer. $\endgroup$ Commented May 19, 2015 at 3:40
