Hi Keith,

How are you storing the plot in the frame/panel?

I can get the change of figure, but when the program goes to plot, the figure isn't the right size. It changes to the right size only when I manually resize the figure (see attached images). Is there some command that I am missing? This is the update sequence I am using:

The toolbar issue tended to squish the axes in the vertical direction (at least in the GUI window), whereas Josh's example is squished in the horizontal direction.
