The easies way I can think of is to compile the graph into a picture
using an offscreen bitmap and a bounds that is four times (on a side
as large as your normal printing area.  Then print the picture to the
laserwriter with a page size rectangle.  Ie.

	AllocateBitMap(&bitmap, 0, 0, PAGEWIDE * 4, PAGELEN * 4);
	OpenPort(&offscreen);
	SetPortBits(&bitmap);
	pict = OpenPicture(&bitmap.bounds);
	MoveTo(45, 45);
	LineTo(300, 300);
	ClosePicture();

	PrOpenPage(...);
	SetRect(&rect, 0, 0, PAGEWIDE, PAGELEN);
	DrawPicture(pict, &rect);
	PrClosePage(...);

Hope this helps,
