I thought it might be a problem with something I'd done previously, so I did exit IDL and then plotted the two pictures after logging in again, one after the other (I did each twice, i.e. the 10x4 inch image, then 4x4, then 10x4 then 4x4). Each time, only the labels in the 4x4 image were centred. :-S
