I am trying to plot a velocity field of dimensions 61(x) by 80(y). I
would like the axes to be the same scale in the ps file output. I also
have x, y and major titles and labelling which seems to effect the size
of the final output. I have tried something like this:

set_plot, 'ps'
device, /inches, xsize = 6.1, ysize = 8

but I think this only deals with the printable area.

Regards

David

The routine setscale.pro found at

ftp://sohoftp.nascom.nasa.gov/solarsoft/gen/idl/display/

should do what you want.
