Dear David,
thanks for the answer. Yes, ImageSize is the option I want to deal with.
My problem is that I programmatically want to place self-made
controls onto the axes of plots. I cannot include the full code here,
as it involves multiple packages. A toy model is presented below:
Consider, you have a more advanced slider you want to position
(invisibly) over the full range of the x axis, to be able to easily
change the plot range by directly draggin the x axis with your
mouse. The red frame represents the dragger control below:
p = Plot[Sin[x], {x, -2, 2}, ImageSize -> Medium];
Show[p, Epilog ->
Inset[Framed[{}, FrameStyle -> Red, ImageSize -> {359, 10}],
Scaled@{0, .5}, {Left, Center}]]
Now how can I set the ImageSize of Framed, or the size
of the inset directly to be the value of the full horizontal
size of the image?
