"Subtitle=" in Function graphics [message #90800]

There does not appear to be an equivalent of the direct graphics "Subtitle" keyword in function graphics. Can anyone suggest the best way to make a subtitle in function graphics?

I know that if one supplies a string array to the TEXT() command, then each string will be displayed on a separate line. I was hoping to supply a [xtitle,subtitle] array to the XTITLE keyword, but the [xy]TITLE keywords do not behave like TEXT(). It would also be nice if one could supply a multiline title to the TITLE keyword. --Wayne

What I am using is:
pl = plot(/TEST)
pl.TITLE = 'title!Csubtitle'
Of course you can use more subtle !C-combinations in order to change font size, type, etc... between title and subtitle strings.
Maybe there might be a more advanced possibility, but I am not aware of.

Thanks, Alain. It is good to know that the embedded formatting commands work in both direct graphics and function graphics. --Wayne
