KY,
There are a number of methods for solving this problem. First, you can click
on the graphic with the mouse, than grab one of the "handles" and drag the
graphic to a larger size. If you change and reevaluate the graphic code it
will still use the larger size. If you delete the output graphics or
evaluate in a fresh notebook it will revert to the smaller default graphic
size.
You can use the graphics option ImageSize -> 500, say, in your Plot
statement and then Mathematica will always use the specified size.
If you are making a lot of plots, say with the Plot statement, then you
could redefine it to always include the ImageSize option, and whatever other
options you wish to use.
myPlot[args__, opts___?OptionQ] :=
Plot[args,
opts,
ImageSize -> 500,
Frame -> True]
Needs["Graphics`Colors`"]
myPlot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2Pi},
PlotLabel -> Sin[x],
Background -> Linen];
That saves typing the ImageSize and Frame options each time you make a plot.
You could also change ImageSize or Frame just by including them in the
myPlot statement. The only trouble is that if you are using a number of
different plot types you will have to make a definition for each plot type.
If you are using the DrawGraphics package and paradigm, then you can make
one definition for all your 2D graphics and a second definition for all your
3D graphics, if needed.
For example, right now I am trying to learn some complex analysis using
Tristan Needham's "Visual Complex Analysis" book. I found that I was always
typing the same options into my graphics statements so I made the
definition:
ComplexGraphics[primitives : {___}, opts___] :=
Draw2D[primitives,
opts,
AspectRatio -> Automatic,
Frame -> True,
FrameTicks -> False,
Axes -> True,
AxesOrigin -> {0, 0},
AxesStyle -> Gray,
ImageSize -> 500
]
That saves a lot of typing with each piece of graphics.

Hi mathgroup,
Whenever a graphic command is executed in a notebook
the graph is drawn in an area of fixed dimensions.
this area is a little too small for a good view,
especially when you have a number of plots with
varying parameters, as in the case of solution of
differential equations. Is there a way of enlarging
the graph? I would appreciate if DAVID PARK also
responds to this.
Thanks in advance.
