Plot does not adjust margins automatically to make room for long tick labels. If your *y* axis labels are too long, you can increase the **marginLeft** to make more room. Also consider using a different **tickFormat** for short labels (*e.g.*, `s` for SI prefix notation), or a scale **transform** (say to convert units to millions or billions).

-The **aspectRatio** option, if not null, computes a default **height** such that a variation of one unit in the *x* dimension is represented by the corresponding number of pixels as a variation in the *y* dimension of one unit. The **aspectRatio** option is recommended only when *x* and *y* domains share the same units, such as millimeters. When a position scale is [ordinal](./scales#discrete-scales) (*point* or *band*), consecutive domain values are treated as one unit length apart; for example, if both *x* and *y* are ordinal, then an aspect ratio of one produces a square grid.
