Which device? The on-screen one, or a printer one or ...?

Open a device with a given width and height, e.g.

windows(width=8, height=6)

However, I don't see what that has to do with files: if you are copying to
a file that should respect the dimensions given,

Under most circumstances you can just resize the graphics window if you
want another shape.
