Dear Statalisters,

Why doesn't r(gbox) after -graph, bbox()- return the values of bbox?
Example (default input based on Graphics manual for v.7 p. 62):

program define graphbox
	syntax [ varlist(default=none) ] [ , bbox(string) * ]
	if "`bbox'"=="" {
		local bbox = "1000,0,13500,15000,850,390,0"
		}
	if "`varlist'"=="" {
 		local varlist mpg weight
 		}
	di "`varlist'"
	gph open
	graph `varlist' , bbox(`bbox') `options'
	gph close
	local gbox = r(gbox)
	di "input bbox: `bbox'"
	di "output gbox: `gbox'"
	end

Now, with the auto dataset loaded:

. graphbox
input bbox: 1000,0,13500,15000,850,390,0
output gbox: 1000,0,13127,15000,850,390,0

Has Stata allocated 373 "rows" less to the graph than requested, or are bbox
and gbox two different concepts?
