Steven,

I don't think you've encountered a limitation of the demo version; it's
just the way the PLOT command works. For example, if you type

IDL> plot, indgen(10)

and then change the window size, PLOT does not know that the window size
changed. To get this functionality, you have a few options:

(2) Download http://www.dfanning.com/programs/xwindow.pro and try this:

IDL> xwindow, 'plot', indgen(10)

(1) Try the Insight application that comes with IDL by typing the
following at the command line:

IDL> insight

Cheers,
Liam.
