2010-10-22 Thread Kynn Jones
I need to generate a fairly complex chart, for which I need the ability to specify not only subplots, but also sub-subplots, and even sub-sub-sub-plots. (Our group has found such charts useful in the past, but they were generated using horrific MATLAB code.) I'll try to describe what I want to do
