Hello Christian, first of all, thank you for your fast response. Sounds like my guess was right, using the 'x coord trafo' is the right way to accomplish my needs.
Unfortunately your attached draft dosn't compile on my machine.
The compiler is telling me ./P.tex:67: Undefined control sequence.
I'm using the MacTeX-2010 distribution bases on TeX Live 2010.
I attached the error log.
Now in the pdf you attached, the x-axis coords are integers but I like to get
the 'widthxheight' strings in my plot instead.
I thought that is the purpose of 'x coord inv trafo' that has to be defined...
or am I messing things up here?
Maybe you could shed some light on it.
Best regards
Ken
