Oh, wait, you are doing multiple plots. Yeah, you're hosed unless you use the same Character sizes. :-)

Can anyone tell if I am missing something simple, or if there is a work around? I believe the first set of code produces plots about 1 square centimeter larger than the second code (for some reason that was not the case earlier this week, they matched nicely).

The different CHARSIZE used in the two plots is affecting the position of the plot (by manipulating the plot margins). You could use a POSITION keyword to
force the plot into the right place, regardless of the character sizes.
