Maybe I'm missing something, but why couldn't you just user OPLOT (overplot)? -- ************************************ mark_cadwell@qmail4.trw.sp.com Redondo Beach, CA ************************************

As opposed to using !p.multi where gaps between the plots exist, multiplot allows plots to be joined, eliminating redundant axes' labels. This method is only inportant when the plots in the matrix actually have common axes. They share the common axes but are distinct plots in different locations on the screen. If you look at the examples in the header, you will see clearly what multiplot does. What else can I say, it serves a distinct purpose. It's a great little routine.
