Hello, How is the graphic plotting size/position controlled for the IDLgrPrinter object? I would like to output a 2d plot such that the axes are scaled isotropically. I have the view dimensioned properly for IDLgrWindow and IDLgrClipboard... but I don't see how to control the printer dimensions and offset. I am using the following steps to print: r = dialog_printersetup(myprinterobject) if r = 1 then begin myprinterobject->newpage myprinterobject->draw, myview myprinterobject->newdocument endif The graphic atoms in the view are NOT normalized but are in natural data coordinates. I keep looking for the equivalent controls dor the direct graphics PRINTER device such as... DEVICE, ysize = blah, xsize = fooey, xoffset = duh, ...
