[Chart] Equal scale on both axes

[Bjorn Buckwalter]

For the record this feature is high on my wish list too. Do you have any
ideas of where to start if one wanted to implement it?

I'll admit that I asked about this 2011-01 as well[1] but never took it
anywhere. I'm hoping the answer/right approach may be more obvious now with
the recent rework.

Thanks,
