Below is some questions and answers i havrom VNI Technical Support.
Unfortunately they couldn't solve my problem.
Does anyone else have any ideas.

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is no simple way of affecting the size of the axis.
The only way is how I described below.

T3D function to change the unit cube. The surface command
will draw into the unit cube.

See the explanation of T3D starting at Page 115 of the
User's Guide.

pro test
window,1,xsize=500,ysize=500
a=dist(40)
surface,a,/save
wait,2.0
t3d,scale=[.5,1.,1.]
surface,a,/t3d
end

I have produced a 3D mesh. I would like to change a few things about its
appearance. I want to change the length of the x axis and the length of the y
axis. However i want the scales on theses axes to remain exactly as they are
at present. What i really need is a parameter i can alter to adjust the length
of the x axis, and a similat parameter to alter the length of the y axis. At
different times i may want these axes to be differnet lengths therefore an
adjustable parameter would be ideal.
Any info/advice would be great.
**************
Sue, thanks for the reply. I have tried your solution but the surface plot is
slightly rotated thus reducing the size of the y axis as well as the x axis.
Is there anyway round this. I have tried Matlab and it has a fairly simple
function to do what i need.
Thanks in advance.
