How to keep plots and their titles/labels of two graphs the same size when using option by() ?

[Will ZHANG]

Hi everyone,
I want to produce some graphs which are composites with different number of separate panels, like

sysuse auto.dta, clear
tw scatter price length, by(foreign, row(1)) name(a, replace)
tw scatter price length, by(rep78, row(2))   name(b, replace)

Well, as you can see, graph a has two plots in one row, and graph b has five plots in two rows.
But, I don't know how to keep the separate panels of graph a and b the same size.

Really appreciate any help.

sysuse auto.dta, clear
preserve 
expand 2 
gen toshow = cond(_n <= 74, rep78, 6 + foreign)
label def toshow 1 "Record 1" 2 "Record 2" 3 "Record 3" 4 "Record 4" 5 "Record 5" 6 Domestic 7 Foreign 
label val toshow toshow 
tw scatter price length, by(toshow, row(3) hole(6) note("")) name(c, replace)
restore

Thanks for your reply. I like your book 119 stata tips!
Your code can really make the separate panels of two graphs the same size.
But I need the results to be shown in two graphs, so that I need to modify the size of one graph.
I've found it difficult to make that in stata. Hoping to get help from you.
Thanks!

I suppose you could try specifying xsize() and ysize(). That's not something I've ever wanted or tried to do, so I am guessing.
