AUTOSIZE is useful when you change the size of the graphics display area using 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.

Note: If you use HSIZE of VSIZE, the character cell size changes regardless of the AUTOSIZE setting.
