Re: maximize panel plots created by viewport specifications

Hi,

using "x11" as plot output the plotting space is quadratic. If you =
choose "pdf" it
places the "x11" square plot in the middle of a rectangular plotting =
space
(like a piece of paper).

You could use ImageMagicks 'convert' to cut off white space around the =
plot:

   convert -alpha off -background white -density 300 -trim input.pdf =
output.pdf

Hope this helps,
Karin
