I am agree absolutely. And the solution is not so obvious as one can
expect. To change this behavour you need to modify the option
ImageSize inside Plot[] command. This option specifies the width of
the image in pixels when only one numerical argument is passed:
plot = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 6 Pi}, ImageSize -> 300];
And you can not control the size of the image with Graphics[Plot[],
ImageSize -> 300]. This does not work.
