Very slick! It's nice to see an example of _EXTRA as well. Many thanks!
And thanks, David, for the alternative approach, which I was fiddling around
with while you were cleaning house.

Just cleaned this up:
http://turtle.as.arizona.edu/idl/gang_plot_pos.pro
It uses _EXTRA as a trick to get the tick labeling correct, and can abut
any number of plots horizontally and vertically.

Here is how I make a stacked ladder plot:
http://www.dfanning.com/graphics_tips/ladder_plot.html
Unfortunately, you have to fool around with POSITION,
I think. What you could do, to make this easy on yourself,
is something like this:
Window, XSize=300, YSize=600 ; Window for plot.
p = Aspect(3.0) ; normalized coordinates for 3/1 plot ratio
p1 = p[1]
len = (p[3] - p[1]) / 3
p2 = p1 + len
p3 = p1 + (2*len)
p4 = p[2]
Now p1 through p4 are the Y values you need (in normalized
coordinates) for the three equal-area plots. p[0] and p[2]
are the x coordinates.
Cheers,
David
