Hallo, I would like to draw lines (or arcs...) of defined length (e.g. 10 Units, could be pts,mm, cm or m or whatever). The exported PS-file should draw the lines with exact the same length. I tried with the ImageSize property in Export, but this seems to define the bounding box, so that the white margins of the plot spoil the result (a line of 10cm only has 9.86cm of length on the paper). If I could get rid of the margins, everything should be fine, but I did not succeed here. Enlarging the ImageSize does not seem to be a very precise way, too... Right now I´m exporting the coordinates and draw them via a PostScript-program, but this is quite inconvenient. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Yves Klett
