Read the article about positioning plots on my web page:
http://www.dfanning.com/tips/position_plots.html
The article describes how to position a plot in a graphics
window, but the principle is exactly the same whether the
window is a display window or a PostScript window of the
size you describe above. You can also look at the
program ASPECT on my web page. This allows you to create
a plot of any specific aspect ratio (i.e. what you want
to do here) whether on the display or in PostScript output.
Cheers,
David
