Greetings,
suppose I have a plot consisting of four panels on top of each other.
Let's also suppose all are showing the same quantity, just measured by
different instruments. Since the y axis title is rather longish - like
'Compressional Component [nT]' - I would like one ytitle for all 4
panels.
I know that I could use YXOUTS to place a string next to the axes,
however I would need to work out exactly where to place it, so that it
appears centered. And I am anal about these things, if the title is
not exactly in the middle it will annoy the heck out of me. So I could
go about and use XYOUTS with negative character size to then have the
width of the string and so on and so on and so on... veeery
complicated. Though, now that I come to think of it, the time it takes
me to write this article would have been enough to write a little
procedure...
Anyway, I thought about using PLOT, /NODATA or AXIS but if I set
YSTYLE=5, then the title is also not drawn, which doesn't really help.
I also thought about drawing the axis in !P.BACKGROUND but... well, I
let you work out how pointless this approach is...
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Lasse
