[GRASS-user] Problems while running d.out.file

[António Rocha]

Hi
Sorry to get back to this question again but I was not able to solve this.
Ok
1- I have plotted my raster
2- I have added a command layer with this d.barscale bcolor=none at=0,90
3- If I use the "Save display to graphic file" functionality it works 
just fine. But If i try to set a smaller Width and Height:
   a) if I place barscale at 0,90 it gets cut
   b) If I place barscale at 0,0 it does not get cut but barscale gets 
over the image

Is there any other suggestion on resizing PNG output without loosing 
image and barscale?

Another question: when I launch a new Map Display window: Is it possible 
to define its size?
Thanks
Antonio
