    The "some such thing" is a resource called "mpShapeMode", and you can
    set it to "FreeAspect" to control the width and the height of your
    plot using the vpWidthF and vpHeightF examples.

    You can see an example at:

       http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/csm/support/CSM_Graphics/resize.shtml

    Look at example #3 in particular.

    The "mpShapeMode" resource is documented at:
