Cracked it! I was being dumb - I'd forgotten that EQ can only work in base 2 when opening graphics - ie. the file dimensions have to be one of 2, 4... 64, 128, 256. So files can be 32x32, 64x64, 128x32, etc... up to a maximum size of 256x256.

So when I'd made my odd sized 185x100 graphic, EQ would have been opening it in a 256x128 space in memory, explaining why I was getting empty spaces all around it.

I've got a large gauge working now, all I've got to do tonight is tidy up the graphics and try to figure out where I can put dividers.
