Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked allready. Its just that I found only
partial information on many (many) forums...
I Have two eps files of size 12cm*6cm that I would like to merge into
one file of size 12*12cm (one above the other). All the command line
tools (e.g. psmerge under linux) I've found until now are making two
pages of my two plots, and not allways very nicely.
Is it possible to do such an operation, and how to do it properly?
Thanks a lot!
Fab

That should be the page title. Suppress it with -t ""

Nice!
But even with -a 0 I still have one title for the first figure ? (the
second figure lost its title)

I have used CorelDraw for that.

I wrote a horrible python script that uses latex to put several eps
files onto one page. It leaves quite some margins around the plots, so
it might not be what you want. I use it to put tens of plots onto very
few pages to get an overview of my data. I also believe that such jobs
should be automated as much as possible. The simplest command line to
put two plots per page would look like this:
nplot.py -x 1 -y 2 file1.eps file2.eps file3.eps file4.eps
If anyone is interested, I can email them the program.
If I have to combine eps plots in a more controlled manner, I use the
free program scribus. I import the eps graphics and arrange them
manually as I see fit. scribus should work with any IDL eps graphics,
however, it does not (cannot) work with raster graphics embedded in
eps. Last time I tried, not even expensive Coreldraw could do that.
