The problem is to get exact sizes on a PostScript plot. For example,
what should I do if I want a 5x5 cm picture containing a 12 pt label.
The script attached sets 5x5 cm paper size, 12 px font and draws a TText
in 50x50 px and 200x200 px canvases, prints their to .eps files. I get
plots having different height/width ratio (of course != 1).
