<div dir="ltr">Hmmm, yeah I got frustrated trying to do the same. It seems you must use a polar stereographic projection to use mpvals - which I didnt particularly care for. Maybe this is something that can be fixed with the next version of GrADS. Somehow redo the drawing system, or allow you to crop.</div>

<div dir="ltr">L.B.,<br>I agree with Stephen's suggestions. I have played around with the mpvals function to make my own forecast graphics. An example is on my forecast graphics page (<a href="http://www.meteor.iastate.edu/~jdduda/forecast/loop_NAM_CONUS.htm?param=full_500mb&cycle=18Z" target="_blank">http://www.meteor.iastate.edu/~jdduda/forecast/loop_NAM_CONUS.htm?param=full_500mb&cycle=18Z</a>). Unfortunately, I do not know the projections well enough to know exactly what values to use to get the entire domain in the frame. I got frustrated and gave up after getting the best look, which is being used to make the graphics in the link. Maybe you'll have better luck than me.<br>

<div dir="ltr">William,<div>You can "zoom in" by reducing the lat and lon ranges before you display the variable. Also, try using 'set mpvals...' (see <a href="http://grads.iges.org/grads/gadoc/gradcomdsetmpvals.html" target="_blank">http://grads.iges.org/grads/gadoc/gradcomdsetmpvals.html</a>) to specify which areas you wanted included in the plot.</div>

Usually the extra white space is used for text and such, but in my case I want to fill the entire plot area (or most of it) and get rid of as much white space as possible. I have played around with various values for vpage and parea as well as the image size output (so it is NOT distorted), and it just seems to re-scale the image, and not let me fill the entire area. Ideally it would be nice to set your parea>vpage, but that's not possible. I have posted an example image below. I made the background black to show you all the excess space. Now obviously the image is not rectangular, and I have cropped the left and the right side, but how can I get rid of that excess on the top and bottom without using an external utility to crop it after the fact?</div>
