How can I modify a graphcap so that the plot covers the entire page?
First, you need to talk to your system administrator to find out where the source for NCAR Graphics is located. We will refer to the top level directory of the NCAR Graphics source as $NCARG. The ASCII version of the graphcaps are located in the directory $NCARG/common/src/graphcap. Make a copy of the graphcap you want to edit and call it something like name.fullpage.gc where name is the name of the original graphcap. You will need to modify name.fullpage.gc with an editor, but first read the following section. The GKS Standard requires that aspect ratio be preserved between window and viewport, hence by default if you are plotting on a non-square device, the largest viewport will be the largest square you can fit into the output rectangle. However, you can circumvent the standard if you are plotting to a graphcap- driven device.
