Hi,

I am using the cg graphics, and i save an image using a code like:

ps_start, fi='', /encaps
cgcontour, ... ,/iso
ps_end

The resulting file, due to the /iso command has a large blank space on the right, which makes it difficult to tile multiple images in latex
How can i fix this to have an image with the scaling of the /iso plot?

Thanks,
Petros

The ISOTROPIC keyword is being handled by IDL, not by cgContour. The
cgContour command has the more useful ASPECT keyword to control the plot
aspect ratio, which you can use instead to achieve the same effect.

I've always thought the ISOTROPIC keyword was broken on the Contour
command anyway, so give me a couple of minutes and I'll define this for
cgContour so that it works correctly.

Cheers,

David

You can find a cgContour command with the ISOTROPIC keyword working
correctly here:
