[Paraview] setting graphical window size

Hi,

I'm using to paraview to create screenshots of multiple sets of data
(12+). Each dataset is located in a separate file and may have different
boundary conditions or different surfaces. (i.e. they are not identical
- although they *might* have elements in common and their domain size is
the same). I've written a simple script (below) using python to set my
camera angle the same between loading the state for each scenario

However, I have one difficulty, if I have exited paraview or resized the
windows (or .#%#@.. it crashed ) the size & aspect ratio of the window
displaying my 3D view may change. This results in my screenshots have
differing resolutions i.e. my first series had 1198x712 but my next was
1106x780. I know you can specify this resolution in the save screenshot
dialog - however this is after the fact and some elements seem to differ
based on the real size (i.e. legends)

I can't seem to find an option to specify the size of this window, but I
assume I may be able to via python ? can anyone help with this ?

Also would love to know how to move the location of the orientation axes ?

For reference, I am not a python programmer ( but can program C, C++,
Fortran ... ) so forgive any style mistakes.

Thanks, John

My quick script to set camera state is: (iso_L.py)
#!/usr/bin/env python

from paraview.servermanager import *
if not servermanager.ActiveConnection:
    connection = servermanager.Connect()
view = servermanager.GetRenderView()
camera = view.GetActiveCamera()
view.CameraPosition=[0.5,-4,4]
view.CameraFocalPoint=[2.915, 0, 0.821]
view.CameraViewUp=[0, 0, 1]
view.CameraViewAngle=30
#view.ResetCamera()
view.StillRender()
