Trying to force scatter chart to be square

[andre king]

Hi,
I need to maintain a 1:1 ratio between the screen size of the x and y axiis of the scatter chart.
I tried Pete Brown's general approach (http://10rem.net/blog/2009/01/09/creating-a-silverlight-control-that-stays-square) of extending RadChart and overriding the Measure and Arrange methods but the chart did not render properly (I also tried dropping it as content in his SquareContainer and got the same result). This would also make the entire chart square - I only want the chartarea to be square.
Do you have any suggestions?
thanks for your time,
andre

This is what I came up with so far. It does what I need. Please comment if there is a better way.
Thanks,

public class MyRadChart: RadChart
{
    public MyRadChart()
    {
        this.DefaultView.ChartArea.LayoutUpdated += new EventHandler(ChartArea_LayoutUpdated);
    }
    void ChartArea_LayoutUpdated(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        double dim = Math.Min(this.ActualHeight, this.ActualWidth);
        this.DefaultView.ChartArea.Height = dim;
        this.DefaultView.ChartArea.Width = dim;
    }
}
