March 2014:
So, I set my FRED graphs to 800 pixels wide by the default height, 450 I think. I even keep my browser set at a width that gives me the 800-pixel graph width automatically. Or anyway I did, until a recent update of the FREDGraph system.
Now I get the graph all set up as I want it, 800 pixels wide and all, and use the Firefox browser's "take a screenshot" button to perfectly capture the image -- the button "knows" where the edges of the graph are, so it is easy to capture an image that needs no cropping.
I used this method religiously. Since the update, it no longer works as expected.
This time, instead of opening the file after saving it, I right-clicked it and clicked "Properties". The "Details" tab tells me that the size of the image is 640 x 360.

I doesn't make sense to me that FRED would still let me make the graph the size I want, and then somehow ignore that size when I capture the image. So maybe the problem is in the Firefox image-capture routine (but I doubt it) or buried deep in Windows (highly likely).
Maybe if I choose to get the graph as a PDF image it comes out right? I have to check.
Son of a bitch!
If I just use the Download options (the same options I always use when I download the data) I get a PNG image (I didn't want a PDF image) in just the size I want. What did it take me, two months to figure that out? Ah, but I was doing it my way, religiously!
