Unless you are using the new object graphics (which gives you
symbol and text scaling for free), I don't think you have any
choice but to use the SymSize keyword to change the symbol size
in resizeable graphics windows.
But calculating the proper symbol (and text) size for resizeable
graphics windows is made easier by using the STR_SIZE function
from my web page. This function calculates the proper character
and symbol size to keep characters in proportion as the window
changes size. For example, you can use it like this:
Window, XSize=300, YSize=300
niceSize = Str_Size('This is a standard string', 0.35)
Plot, Findgen(11), Charsize=niceSize, PSym=4, Symsize=niceSize
Window, XSize=500, YSize=500
niceSize = Str_Size('This is a standard string', 0.35)
Plot, Findgen(11), Charsize=niceSize, PSym=4, Symsize=niceSize
Cheers,
David
