Presumably you have read the help file and tried specifying width
and/or height, right? Also, note the comment about copying the whole
region, not just the plot. Does any of this help?

"Men by nature long to get on to the ultimate truths, and will often
be impatient with elementary studies or fight shy of them. If it were
possible to reach the ultimate truths without the elementary studies
usually prefixed to them, these would not be preparatory studies but
superfluous diversions."
-- Maimonides (1135-1204)
