Hi all,

I am plotting four graphs on one page using the multiplot mode. Since
tic labels are the same for two of the graphs respectively, the are
omitted at some graphs. Here an example that shows the problem for two
graphs.

set size 0.50, 0.50

set origin 0.00, 0.50
set nolabel
set format y "%5.1f"
set format x "%5.1f"
plot [:][:] \
'datafile.dat' u 3:4 t 'Exp.' lt 3 pt 5 ,\
'datafile.dat' u 3:4 t "LES" w l lt 1 lw 3

set origin 0.50, 0.50
set nolabel
set format y ""
set format x ""
plot [:][:] \
'datafile.dat' u 3:4 t 'Exp.' lt 3 pt 5 ,\
'datafile.dat' u 3:4 t "LES" w l lt 1 lw 3

Now, the plots have different sizes due to the tic labels. Is there any
workaround other than the 'trial and error' methode by playing with size
and origin ??

I am sure that question has been asked frequently, but did not find an
answer in the FAQ.

Thanks a lot,

Dirk

There are two possible solutions to this:

1) don't turn off the tic labels at all. They'll be overprinted, but
except for a slightly larger plot output in vector-based format, that
shouldn't cause any harm.

2) Check out 'set lmargin' & friends. These let you fix the position
of the coordinate box relative to the page boundaries, regardless of
the tick labels.
