I recently attended a fantastic workshop by John Hunter and Fernando Perez, and John pointed out that I really do want to play with the axis objects directly. In case someone googles for this later on, here's how to do it for two boxes:
ax = axes([0.1, 0.3, 0.8, 0.6]) plot(rand(12)) a2 = axes([0.1, 0.1, 0.8, 0.15]) plot(rand(12)) On 3/21/07, Eric Firing <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > John Hunter wrote: > > On 3/21/07, Michael Lerner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Hi, > >> > >> I want to make a figure that has three subplots.
