IDLgrPrinter

[Ben Tupper <pemaquidriver(at)tidewater.net>]

Hello,

How is the graphic plotting size/position controlled for the
IDLgrPrinter object?  I would like to output a 2d plot such
that the axes are scaled isotropically.  I have the view
dimensioned properly for IDLgrWindow and IDLgrClipboard...
but I don't see how to control the printer dimensions and
offset.


I am using the following steps to print:

r = dialog_printersetup(myprinterobject)
if r = 1 then begin
    myprinterobject->newpage
    myprinterobject->draw, myview
    myprinterobject->newdocument
endif


The graphic atoms in the view are NOT normalized but are in
natural data coordinates.

I keep looking for the equivalent controls dor the direct
graphics PRINTER device such as...
DEVICE,  ysize = blah, xsize = fooey, xoffset = duh, ...
