Jeff, 
Why would you begin your answer with such an irrelevant, vague, and negative statement? It taints everything else you might have to say. If you don’t like GrADS, unsubscribe or lurk quietly, but don’t answer questions with mean-spirited misinformation. 


Aaron,

At this point you can get the number of X grid points like this:
‘set gxout stat'
‘d refdtotal’
* The following assumes the first line of the stat output starts with “Notice: Automatic Grid Interpolation…"
* If you are not using a PDEF , then the idims will be in line 3 of the stat output
idims=sublin(result,4) 
x1=subwrd(idims,4); x2=subwrd(idims,6)
xsize=x2-x1+1

Now you can use the ‘xsize’ script variable in your ‘set prnopts’ statement. Your format statment %0.0f needs to be adjusted — the number to the left of the decimal indicates how many total places (columns) your number will occupy. The number to the right of the decimal indicates how many digits will appear to the right of the decimal in your formatted number.  I suggest something like this:
   ‘set prnopts %5.1f ‘xsize’ 1 u’ 
But it depends a lot on what variable you are displaying. I don’t know what refdtotal is, so this is just a guess.
