INCLAN Graphics: plot layout

Synopsis

plot layout rows=rows columns=columns x0=x₀ x1=x₁ y0=y₀ y1=y₁ xgap=Δx ygap=Δy aspect=ratio

Description

Defines the layout of a figure with multiple, equally sized panels, arranged in the given numbers of rows (default: 1) and columns (default: 1). The overall size of the rectangular figure is defined by the lower left corner (x₀, y₀) and by the upper right corner (x₁, y₁). The default is to fill an A4 page with x₀ = -250, x₁ = 250, y₀ = -375, y₁ = 375 points (1 pt = 0.353 mm). The sizes of the horizontal and vertical gaps between adjacent panels can be set with the parameters xgap and ygap. The values 0 < Δ x < 1 and 0 < Δy < 1 are given as fractions of the total width and total height of a panel, respectively (default: 0.2). The aspect ratio (height/width) of a panel can be defined explicitly. The plot layout command is used in conjunction with the plot frame command. The panels are numbered 1, 2,... from left to right and from top to bottom. By default, the first plot frame command after a plot layout command applies to the first panel (panel 1). Each subsequent plot frame command applies to the next panel (panels 2, 3, …).
