I'm not sure if I'm missing something obvious but I want to produce a
multi-panel postscript plot which will have 8 maps on it, in 2 rows of
4.
I'm achieving this using the position keyword to map_set. This means
that the map position is something like plot_position=[0.1,0.4, 0.25,
0.65].
The problem I'm having is that while the maps are the size I want, the
box_axes surrounding them are far too thick. It looks like the
box_axes keep a constant size when I change the size of the map so for
a small map they're very disproportionally large.
Is there a way to set the thickness of the box_axes?
Thanks in advance.
Rob

Curious if you or anyone has found an answer to this... it's exactly
the question I was going to post. For my particular application, the
box_axes thickness is too thin, but it's the same basic functionality
question.

Oh, thanks for the tip. :) Will give it a go, next time!

(I ended up having to make individual files for each plot and glue them together, as the axes were a reasonable thickness with only one plot-per-file.) However, Fabien, from IDL help it looks like your solution only works in IDL 8 and higher--is there a way you know of to do this in IDL 7.1?
