Dear Users,<br>
I'm trying to generate a plot with grads that should be 700px by 1000px<br>
because some text is being plotted outside the visible region.<br>
I tried to use printim x700 y1000 but grads generates a stretched plot<br>
of the same figure and not a greater plot.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It may sound strange, but how did you reach this conclusion?

Does anyone has a solution for this problem?<br>

For example, in portrait mode (8.5" x 11") the aspect ratio is x/y = 8.5/11. So, if you choose your image to have 700 pixels in the "x" direction, chose 905 pixels in the "y" direction.</div>
