thanks to alan and nick for the perfect solution re. the above subject.
it is really much better to give the size you desire in inches (just wonder
how many naughty thoughts this has provoked) than fiddling with %-wise
magnifications. jesper's idea of a possibility to set defaults for this
would come very useful for some of us users, though admittedly it is not too
much of a hassle to stick in the option for graphs that go beyond their
usual on-screen habitat.
