And what size was that?

Expected by whom, why?

No, it's not.  The size was set to twice the normal one, *before* 'set 
terminal' and 'set output'.  Thus, it should have changed not just the 
plot size, but also the page size, i.e. the bounding box.  mif.trm is 
ignoring the one input it currently has about the intended actual size 
of the plotted output.
