Hi all,
I'm saving a number of NG plots into a multi-page pdf. I have six
plots of lightcurves per landscape page, using the layout=[2,3,...]
and /current keywords, but no matter how much I play with the height,
width, page_size, and dimensions keywords, I can't get the plots to
take up the whole page. They are small and centered with a huge (like
3 inch) margin on each side. If I set xmargin and ymargin, the
graphic is moved to a different part of the page but is just as small.
Can anyone tell me how to make a pdf take up more of the page in IDL
8.0.1?
--Gray
Code:
PRO plot_lightcurves, time, curves
;ncurve = (size(curves,/dim))[0]
ncurve = 12
last = ncurve - 1
for i=0,last,6 do begin
p0 = errorplot(time,curves[i,0,*],curves[i,1,*],'D-',$
sym_filled=1,layout=[2,3,1],dimensions=[1000,600],/buffer)
if (i eq last) then goto, done
p1 = errorplot(time,curves[i+1,0,*],curves[i+1,1,*],'D-',$
sym_filled=1,layout=[2,3,2],/current)
if (i+1 eq last) then goto, done
p2 = errorplot(time,curves[i+2,0,*],curves[i+2,1,*],'D-',$
sym_filled=1,layout=[2,3,3],/current)
if (i+2 eq last) then goto, done
p3 = errorplot(time,curves[i+3,0,*],curves[i+3,1,*],'D-',$
sym_filled=1,layout=[2,3,4],/current)
if (i+3 eq last) then goto, done
p4 = errorplot(time,curves[i+4,0,*],curves[i+4,1,*],'D-',$
sym_filled=1,layout=[2,3,5],/current)
if (i+4 eq last) then goto, done
p5 = errorplot(time,curves[i+5,0,*],curves[i+5,1,*],'D-',$
sym_filled=1,layout=[2,3,6],/current)
if (i+5 eq last) then goto, done
p0.save, 'lightcurves.pdf',/append,/landscape
p0.close
endfor
done:
p0.save, 'lightcurves.pdf',/append,/close,/landscape
p0.close
end

Excellent, Paulo, that worked perfectly. Thank you!

I think that you need to set the margins on one corner with xmargin
and ymargin, and on the other side from the plot aspect ratio, the
page size and width or height. This gives me a pdf with no borders:
IDL> p=plot(/test,dimensions=[1100,850],position=[0.,0.,1.,1.])
IDL> p.save,'test.pdf',width=11.,xmargin=0.,ymargin=0.,/landscape
