Hi there,
I have a question regarding the font_size in the IDL reference PLOT(): With what exactly does it scale?
I make plots with different dimensions but want the same font size everywhere. It does not seem so scale only with e.g. the x dimension.
Is it connected to pixels or anything like that?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks,
Hannah

Hi Hannah,
The font_size should be in "points", just like a word processing app. So if you set font_size=12, this should approximately match a 12-point font in say Microsoft Word. Text that is 72 points tall should give you text that is about 1 inch tall, depending upon your screen's dots-per-inch setting.
Cheers,
Chris
