As a related question -- the fact that the iPlot doesn't fully fill the
window is particularly annoying when exporting a postscript file,
because the iTools include a white rectangle of the size of the window
in the PS file. Therefore, when including the PS file in LaTeX or
elsewhere directly, there is a huge white background around the plot.

Does anybody know if / how it is possible to get rid of that rectangle
(in IDL)? I usually open the PS file in Illustrator and delete the
rectangle, with the typical consequence that the file size increases by
a factor of 10 (plus, it has to be done each time after the graph is
edited).

Alternatively, sometimes I just zoom the graph to fill the window
nicely, then the background rectangle doesn't really bother, but that's
not really satisfying either. In the end, it would be nice to be able to
use the iGraph directly without much fudging ...

Thanks,
Benjamin
