Hi all,
I am aware of that the xmargin/ymargin or position parameters can set margins for individual plots. but if I have multiple plots/panels on a single ps file, how can I get extra margin area for the entire plot region and still make the plots/panels align well. (more space at the four edges of the ps file/entire figure) I have a lot information on both the lower and higher x axis for each individual plots, so if I make the plots in the first row fit, the information on the lower x axis for the plot in the last row would go out the ps file. and I don't want to change the plots size in the last row.
Thanks.
Bo

If you're willing to try IDL 8 (a.k.a. New) Graphics, I have a pair of examples on this topic. The first uses the equivalent of !p.multi:

and the second the equivalent of POSITION and NOERASE:
