Title , multiple Plot in IDL [message #7995] Tue, 28 January 1997 00:00

Yesterday I asked:

I use the multiple plot in IDL (!P.MULTI ..).
So I get 2x3 plots. I want to make a title above those plots.

David Fanning answered:

Humm, probably not enough room for the title. The outside
margins of a multiple-plot page are controlled by the
![XYZ].OMARGIN system variables. These system variables
use that ol' favorite, *character* units, as the unit of
measure.

Try something like this:

!Y.OMARGIN=[2, 10]
!P.MULTI = [0, 2, 3]
....

Thats what I did and didn't succeed, as I'am using the Z-buffer.

Here is the part of my program

------
SET_PLOT,'Z'
DEVICE,SET_RESOLUTION=[RES_PLOT_X,RES_PLOT_Y]
!Y.OMARGIN=[2, 10]
!P.MULTI=[0,MULTI_PLOT_X,MULTI_PLOT_Y]

for i=5L,FIELD+4 do plot,ti,r(i,*),background=255, color=0,min_value=-998,TITLE=
TITEL(i-5)

XYOUTS, 0.5, 0.95, ALIGN=0.5, CHARSIZE=2.0,/NORMAL,STATION_NAME

------

Using the windows device, it works fine. But using the Z-buffer, my title
is not visible, or may be very little in the left down corner.


What am I doing wrong, or is this a bug in IDL 4.
