Default how to center a square plot area in a square chart

hi all,

i have recorded a macro to produce a square chart containing a square plot.
i wish if it's at all possible to have the square plot centered within the
chart. is there a way to do this? below is the macro routine that i have
recorded in case there is a sub that can be inserted into the macros to
center the plot area within the chart area.

thank you,
jes


Sub squareGraph()
