Re: how to change the page size of pdf?

Hi,

Thank you for Verica and Louis ' help.
I think gsnPaperMargin as small as possible possibly can
get rid of the white space. So I change it to 0.1 here.
However it still doesn't work. Finally, Verica's way works fine, which
depends on the eps2eps and epstopdf tools. These two tools
clean all the white space around the plot
(which is convenient to insert in to a TeX document).

But is there a internal NCL way to do that?

Thank you very much!
