Hi Phil:

I have just tried resizing with -dev xwin, qtwidget, wxwidgets, and
xcairo.

The first two are fine, and resize the graphics and text size
appropriately for the resize, and keep the resulting plot centred on
the resized window.

@Arjen and Phil: Please check on Windows that the qtwidget device
also resizes appropriately on that platform.

@Phil:

The wxwidgets device handles the graphics resizing correctly, and also keeps the
plot centred on the resized window.  However, as you said above the
text is not currently resized. Therefore, I believe that is the issue
you should address, and the 3rd example is fine as is.

@To those here who are familar with the cairo family of device drivers:

The xcairo device on platforms with X does not handle resizes
correctly at all; it just displays the same plot with everything the
same size and position regardless of how it is resized.  I am hoping
someone here will fix those resizing issues.  And I presume a similar
fix needs to be applied for the wincairo device on platforms with
access to raw Windows graphics.
