otlib-users] Maximized vs non-maximized output=0A=0AOkay, I tried saving us=
ing the postscript format, and I end up with the "ugly" plot also.   In fac=
t, if I maximize the plot and then save as .ps file, I get ugly plot as wel=
l.  So, saving it in PS made no difference - that part is correct but it me=
ans I end up with the same font, and  dimension as the non-maximized versio=
n.=0A=0ASomehow, if I maximize the plot using the show() command, maximize =
it first, then save it (in png format), I end up with a very nice looking p=
lot.  I just wish there is a simple way to accomplish that in batch mode.=
