On a display, you resize an image with REBIN or (more likely)
CONGRID. You use XSIZE and YSIZE when you send the image off
to PostScript. Because this is confusing, most people use
a TV replacement. For example TVIMAGE (or TVSCALE if you really
don't want to byte scale your data yourself) or IMGDISP.
Any of these are device independent. (And they will even
handle the resizing for you!)

you can try rebin()
a = dist(200) ;200*200 pixels
tv,a
tv,rebin(a,400,400)
