Thanks, I see. It's evolving, hopefully in the right direction.
Nevertheless, translating position coordinates between "global" and
"local" in multi plots (layout=[4,4,i] seems is a generic problem. I
know how to do it in direct graphics but can't quite figure out how to
do it in the new graphics world. Any suggestions?

Thanks
Axel
