Thanks to both of you for that clarification on this. It is curious that I was able to restrict this behavior seemingly by adjusting the size of the plot and the margins on the slide page when this behavior occurred. Presumably those changes masked this underlying issue. As an FYI, for those using the bash shell (typical for many Linuxen), the commands would be: GS_OPTIONS="-dAutoRotatePages=/None" export GS_OPTIONS or they can be combined in a single command: export GS_OPTIONS="-dAutoRotatePages=/None" which can be placed in a shell script or in ~/.bash_profile, which makes the change "global" for the login session.
