Changing the gv page size to tabloid (and landscape) doesn't do any good.

I used your geometry settings to put to images side by side in 
minipages.  I used PDF rather than PS/gv (which I doubt changes anything 
crucial), and I stuck a .png and a .jpg into the minipages since I don't 
use PSTricks (again, I doubt this affects the results).  What worked for 
me was:


1. Insert two minipage boxes side by side at the start of a line.  (I 
set the document to skip rather than indent so that the line with the 
boxes wouldn't indent, but I think it would work just as well if they 
started a new line that wasn't a new paragraph.)  Insert horizontal fill 
between them to allow justification on the page.


2. Set the width of each box to 49 TextWidth%.  In my experience, at 
least with tables, LaTeX is not all that happy to see things add up to 
100%, so force of habit I always leave a little slack.


3. Set the vertical placement to bottom for the content and top for the 
box in both boxes.


4.  Plunk in the images and set their widths to 100 TextWidth%.

Paul

  Thank you, Paul. I forgot to respond on this list that I found a solution
through the help of a more experienced PSTricks user. I removed the
minipages and put dvips as one of the geometry package options. That does
the trick nicely.

Adjacent Figures

[Rich Shepard]

  While I thought that by using two minipages I could place two figures
side-by-side, they're not displaying properly. Perhaps someone here can help
me debug the problem.

  Here's the scenario:

  I defined a custom page size (tabloid, in landscape orientation) by
specifying the geometry package in the preamble:

\usepackage[paperwidth=17in,paperheight=11in,landscape]{geometry}

  All I want on the page are two flowcharts drawn with PSTricks. I put each
flowchart in its own \begin{minipage} ... \end{minipage}, but I have not
defined a \pspicture environment within the minipages. If I put an \hfill
between the two minipages, there is no difference.

  When I view the output in gv each flowchart is on a separate page.
