The program has to replot (scale and redraw for images) after the
plot window has been enlarged/reduced. I don't think that there
is any good way of automatically detecting the resize of a normal
plot window, but you can use the cursor command to detect mouse
clicks. This could be used as a signal to refresh the screen.
If you are using widgets, you can have a button that does this or
you can use the TLB_SIZE_EVENTS keyword to WIDGET_BASE to generate
events when the window resizes. When a resize event is encountered
your program must resize the draw widget and then replot/redraw
whatever is in the window accordingly. If you make a resize button,
you can launch a dialog box that asks the user for a new size or
just have a default scale up or down ratio. Your program must
then resize everything and replot/redraw.
I hope this helps.
