[gradsusr] Grads plot size

[Thomas Robinson]

Aloha Giovanni,

Instead of using printim, you can save the file as metadata and used
convert it however you want.  In GrADS, after you plot the data, do:
ga> enable print metaout
ga> print metaout
ga> quit

Then use gxps to convert the metaout file to a postscript file.  gxps
should be in your grads/bin folder where the grads program is:
gxps -c -r -i metaout -o metaout.ps

Now you can use convert to convert the file to .jpg or whatever
convert -size 700x1000 metaout.ps YourImage.jpg
