Do you want to make them wider? AFAIK, you can't control this with GPL and need to apply a saved chart template to do it. Since I can't send a file via the list serve, here is the text of one that works. The important part of this is the setStyle clustered subtype.

Copy it, save it as .sgt file and then reference it with the template subcommand. I know that somebody mail system will swallow up the XML and quarantine as being a security risk, so if you don't see this, send me a note and I'll zip it up to send.:

Subject: GPL: how to change size of boxplots?

Dear List

I would like to manipulate the size of box plots, that is, to thicken them.
I tried the size function but was not successful. Does anybody have an idea
how to do this without using the template command?

Here an example using the employee data.sav:

GGRAPH
  /GRAPHDATASET NAME="graphdataset" VARIABLES= salary  jobcat  gender
MISSING=LISTWISE REPORTMISSING=NO
  /GRAPHSPEC SOURCE=INLINE.
BEGIN GPL
 SOURCE: s=userSource(id("graphdataset"))
DATA: jobcat=col(source(s), name("jobcat"), unit.category())
DATA: gender=col(source(s), name("gender"), unit.category())
DATA: salary=col(source(s), name("salary"))
SCALE: cat(aesthetic(aesthetic.color.interior), map(("1",color.red),
("2",color.blue) ))
COORD: rect(dim(1,2), cluster(3))
GUIDE: legend(aesthetic(aesthetic.color), label("Gender"))
GUIDE: axis(dim(2), label("Salary"))
GUIDE: axis(dim(3), label("Job Category"))
ELEMENT: schema(position(bin.quantile.letter(gender*salary*jobcat)),
color(gender), size(size."30%"))
END GPL.

Thanks in advance, Christian
