"Heer and Agrawala (2006) and Cleveland discuss several other methods including average (weighted) orientation, and global and local orientation resolution. These are no longer implemented in this function. In general, either the median or average absolute slopes will produce reasonable results without requiring optimization."
I guess in case there are multiple plots in a 1X or X1 worksheet, we will need to take the median of median slopes of these plots into account.
Perhaps something like "Recommended aspect ratio (based on ...)" with an option to set it automatically would be useful?
A simple spreadsheet attached.
