You use device commands with the appropriate keywords (xoffset,
yoffset, xsize, ysize). A look at the idl reference manual sections
IDL_Graphics_Devices->The_Postscript_Device->PostScript_Positioning &
following subsection should explain what you need.

Hope this helps,

Christian

There are two possibilities:

1/

Set_Plot, 'ps'
device, /landscape

2/

Set_Plot, 'ps'
device, xsize=..., ysize=...

For more informations, check the keywords

xsize, xoffset, ysize, yoffset, scale, landscape

of the DEVICE procedure in Chapter 3 of the IDL
Reference Guide or in the Appendix A of the PV-WAVE
User Guide
