How do I set the dimensions for a figure?

I want my figure to be 6inches wide and 4 inches tall, but to keep the scales on the y and x axis. How do I do this?

You can set the figure Units property to inches and Position to be [xbase ybase xbase+6 ybase+4] with xbase and ybase to be determined by the lower left corner position.

This should not affect the X and Y axis scales, if by that you mean the data range that is displayed.

I wonder, though, whether you should instead be looking at the figure PaperPosition and PaperPositionMode, which have to do with the size that a figure should render at when you use print() or saveas() ?
