Usage:
windowsize [width height]

Usage:
~windowsize

Windowsize adjusts the dimensions of the graphics window to the specified width and height in pixels, thus also controlling the dimensions of images from copy and recorded movies. Using windowsize without arguments reports the current pixel dimensions of the window in the status line and Reply Log.

When the Command Line or status line is shown, windowsize cannot reduce the width of the overall window below approximately 500 pixels. Smaller widths can be specified, in which case the graphics view will occupy only the requested dimensions, but will be flanked by unused margins as needed to fill out the overall window. When there is an unused margin, manually resizing the overall window will not resize the graphics area. Manually resizing both together can be re-enabled by eliminating the margin with any of the following:

Windowsize can be used in nogui mode (useful when offscreen rendering is possible).
