Function graphics equivalent of !X.OMARGIN? [message #80708]

Hello,

I do a fair amount of multiple plots on a single page. With DG I used !P.MULTI with abandon. If I needed a image with a
colourbar, I would use !X.OMARGIN to leave enough room on the right hand side of the window for it.

I'm now creating plots using the new function graphics and I'm using the LAYOUT property to get stuff plotting on a
grid. However, I can't find a way to emulate the !X.OMARGIN capability in FG to provide enough space for a readable
colourbar [*].

Does anyone out there have any tips or tricks? (Full disclosure: After the last few days I will admit to "IDL
documentation fatigue" and could really only manage a cursory scan of the -- what I thought would be -- the relevant
help pages. I came up empty.)

TIA for any info.

cheers,

paulv

[*] Also, I have to mention a BIG thanks to David Fanning's article on FG colourbar usage:
http://www.idlcoyote.com/ng_tips/cbdesign.php
That article is the only reason the FG colourbar is of any use at all.
