The reason I suggested using the nogin option is because the default
behavior has always seemed very unintuitive to me.  It seems that setting a
width and/or height parameter should be the only thing that needs to be done
to determine the size of the graphic.  I know this is documented but I think
it is overly confusing to a new user.   I know the first time I set width=3
and the plot still spanned 80% of the page threw me off.
