AUTOSIZE is useful when you change the size of the graphics display area using one one or more of the options PAPERSIZE, XPIXELS, YPIXELS, XMAX, or YMAX. It lets you control image text size without using PROC GDEVICE. Typically, AUTOSIZE is on for most image drivers and off for all other types of drivers.
