If you want to ensure that proportions are maintained (which may not be a bad idea), then 1 is most certainly the way to go. 

2 doesn't seem to make much sense, why not just have a single box that lets you just resize it like any other window in any modern OS?

3 appears to be the cause of the change request, so obviously that's not an option unless a majority of people really want to keep it the way it is?

I see three basic options:

1. Add ONE little checkbox called "Fix Width" (or whatever).  If ON, then the width of the graph is fixed to the width of the window.  The height of the graph changes as appropriate to maintain the stated proportion.  [note: doing Height rather than Width doesn't make a lot of sense in most use cases]

2. Add TWO little checkboxes called "Fix Width" and "Fix Height" (or whatever).  If ON, then the width and/or height of the graph is fixed to the width and/or height of the window.

3. Leave things as they are.

It seems to  me that #1 is the right way to do it (other than #3 of course).  Anyone have any opinions?
