     This can only be done on machines that run MacOS X.

          variable `DISPLAY'.

   width: the width of the plotting window in inches.

  height: the height of the plotting window in inches.

pointsize: the default pointsize to be used.

  family: this is the family  name of the Postscript font that will be
          used by the device.

     without loss of definition.
