[gradsusr] How do I get a map to fill the entire output PNG?

[Arlindo da Silva]

Chris,

Here is another not well known trick. If you are using opengrads
2.0.2.oga.1 or earlier (which includes gxyat), you can create a naked image
very simply with the -f option:

'd airx3std_006_te'
'gxyat -f -x 360 -y 180 out.png'

While on the screen you will see a labels, margins, etc, the image file
created this way contains only the inner part, with no margins or labels of
any kind, see attached.

Notice that gxyat/printim has been dropped for grads 2.1 because gxprint
provides similar functionality. However, I think gxprint does not yet
include the -f option.
