[gradsusr] Adjust Plot/Graphic Area - ignore aspect ratio

Hi all,

I have a series of charts I've created that represent different ocean basins around the world (ie. North Pacific, North Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Global, etc.), thus each of these charts have a different latitude/longitude range that defines the area being plotted.  I've noticed that the plot/graphic area comes out a different size for each different chart – I'm assuming to conserve the aspect ratio of the image. I'm wondering if there is a command to ignore the aspect ratio and plot all of the images on a given plot area.  I'd like all of the graphics to be the same size, even though one may represent a much larger piece of the globe than the other.  I've played around with 'set parea' and 'set vpage', but I can't seem to get what I need.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Best Regards,
Sam
