Re: Viewport settings, vpXF, vpYF not working!

I think you need to set 'resources.nglMaximize = False' in your script to
turn off the default maximization of plots.

If you do this with maps at any point you will also need to set
'resources.mpShapeMode = "FreeAspect"' to allow the width and height to be
set to arbitrary values, however this is not needed for contour plots
without a map.
