Isotropic detector views

Hello again,

I've made some wonderful detector geometry views using ROOT which will help
pad my physics thesis. For this, I need to say thank you again. I do
however have one question concerning views which I haven't been able to
resolve on my own.

When I create a TGeometry and draw it to a TCanvas, the view seems to be
anisotropic. That is, when I resize the window TShapes are stretched with
the frame dimensions. In order to get a view which isn't severely distorted,
my canvas needs to be very tall and narrow. Are there any remedies for
this?

I'm running ROOT 1.03/05 on a WinNT 3.0 Service Pack 3 Pentium Pro.
