OK, I suspect this is the problem then. PS_END, which
will create the PNG file from the PostScript file, relies
on information created in PS_Start. Like, for example,
the size of the output. So, if you are circumventing
PS_Start to create your own sizes, PS_End won't know
about it.

If you want to use PS_Start, just set your sizes with it:

PS_Start, /NoMatch, XSIZE=5, YSIZE=5, /Inches, FILE='test.ps'

Then, don't mess around changing anything. :-)

Cheers,

David
