So you need to use server side scripting, such as PHP, combined with
client side scripting, such as javascript.  Get the window size in
javascript. Then use this knowledge to fetch another page where you
specify this size, for instance encoded in the URL or maybe you use
a form for this.

Also, the -w parameter doesn't specify the width of the whole image
but rather the width of the canvas, the part where the actual graph
is being made, not the axis, vertical label and such.
