KNOWN BUGS

The y and x aspect ration defined by this command and by the DISTANCEAXIS command is correct onplots to any device. The physical size requested is ignored when plotting to an interactive device (e.g. TERMINAL, XWINDOWS) If the SGF device is requested, the physical size is stored in these files. The current SGF plot programs do not have the capability to make arbitrary sized plots (i.e. panelling). This panelling option is planned for a future release.
