[PD] GEM mapping units to pixels

[altern]

i tried to pass different view values to gemwin. I can see that in order 
to be able to specify location or with with pixels i should set view to
view 0 0 2
but as soon as i set that the shape is not there any more. This is an 
example i am using to test. If i ser view to
view 0 0 2.01
it is almost there but if i set it to 0 0 2 it is not there any more. I 
guess it might be because it is either beyond the back limit y or behind 
the camera?

thanks
