Contributor guide

Research direction
Reproduce the bug by running the 'lines' example and selecting 'Square view'. Identify which part of the code calculates the view bounds or handles aspect ratio. Investigate how the square view is enforced—likely through a constraint on the plot range—and determine why the lines exceed the viewport.
