[Orca-users] Size of the graphs produced by Orca.

[David Michaels]

Thanks for the feedback, Colin.  Here are my thoughts:

(1)  There may be a way to override that at install/build time, if not 
in a config file somewhere.  Will have to look more deeply into that 
(and implement it if it really doesn't exist)
(2)  Hmm, I wonder if the plot_width is the width of the graph itself, 
and that is then padded with axis labels and whatnot?
(3)  This is probably because older images with the old dimensions 
didn't match the new HTML files with the new dimensions specified in 
<img src> tags.  As those images got updated, so too did their size, and 
then all was good.
    This is particularly noticable with the monthly, quarterly, and 
yearly graphs, which are much less frequently updated.

Cheers,
