I used the Graphics->New Graphic, then the Drawing Tools to create this in my notebook.

enter image description here

Now, you can see that there is wasted whitespace above and below my line. I tried dragging all the sides and corners, but the effect is the same, What I want to do is narrow the vertical size of the window only, eliminating some whitespace.

Anyone know how to do this?

  • $\begingroup$ @Kuba why not elaborate on the programmatic options? I guess the Shrinkwrap->True hack should be applicable here, too. $\endgroup$

You can press down Ctrl while dragging to do clipping-style manipulations:

enter image description here

More convenient might be a programmatic way, e.g. using:

Show[graphics, Method -> {"ShrinkWrap" -> True}]

However, this method does not really work well with text (that tends to be cut off), so sometimes a bit of manual dragging might be in order anyway.
