AspectRatio not functioining with Plot?

I'm sorry, I misunderstood your original post; I thought AspectRatio was working with ListLinePlot, but not with Plot. If it doesn't work with either of them, then yes, maybe it's just something Wolfram|Alpha doesn't understand yet.

Actually I do use the Pro version, and the issue isn't with the ListLinePlot. It's with the aspectRatio.

Thanks Bianca, It really doesn't get much simpler than what i'm attempting. Hence me not uploading the table of values or using the code button (that and i'm typing on my phone and I can't see the code button) Correct- its a list of x,y points. There 50 pairs. X ranges from 0 to 100 and y ranges from 0 to 400. Plotted, the values outline the cross section of a torus (where it becomes two unconnected circles). But what i'm getting, because of the aspect issue is two elipses, long in the Y direction. I thought I'd start with this data set so I cpuld spot any problems. I'm using WAlpha so it's really just the input declaration for the uploaded table of values and then the LineListPlot to get a visual of the values plotted. Plot does work, I think because Alpha doesn't know what else to do with the data (it even connects the dots without the LineListPlot function!) I will try a symetric data set in the morning and see what that gets me. I just wanted to check that I using aspect correctly. It's happy enough with the syntax but it just doesn't seem to affect the plot.

Can you post your input data, or a simplified example that shows the same behaviour so that we can try stuff out? Also, it's easier to copy and paste code from posts if you format it as code; you can insert code with the leftmost button on the little toolbar just above the area where you post your text.

If ListLinePlot works for your data, then I assume that your data is really just a long list of (x,y) pairs of numbers; is that correct? In this case, how and why does Plot return anything at all, considering Plot only plots functions? Did you do anything else to your data between the Import and the Plot?
