  1. POGnuplot multiplot: Convenient method for creating more complex layouts

    text
    <p>I want to place several plots with <a href="http://www.gnuplot.info" rel="nofollow noreferrer">gnuplot</a> in following way:</p> <pre><code> +------------------------+ |plot1 | | | +------------------------+ +----------++------------+ |plot2 ||plot3 | | || | +----------++------------+ +----------++------------+ |plot4 ||plot5 | | || | +----------++------------+ </code></pre> <p>Simple nxm layouts can be achieved via <code>set multiplot layout n,m</code> (see these <a href="http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo/layout.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">demos</a> for illustration on the official website).</p> <p><a href="http://matplotlib.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>matplotlib</code></a> offers much more advanced possibilites as you can see in the documentation: <a href="http://matplotlib.org/users/gridspec.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Customizing Location of Subplot Using GridSpec</a>.</p> <p>Within gnuplot I have used <code>set origin</code> and <code>set size</code> to achieve this. However, it is rather cumbersome and requires recalculation of sizes and positions when you notice you want to change the layout afterwards.</p> <p><strong>Remark 1:</strong> Often it is also useful to set the margins to fixed sizes to achieve the correct plot sizes. The auto-calculation by varying xlabels and so on would make it otherwise even more difficult to achieve the correct layout.</p> <p><strong>Remark 2:</strong> Instead of <code>origin/size</code> gnuplot offers another possibility using <code>set [lrbt]margin &lt;&gt; at screen</code> which sets plot borders. The user has to make sure that there is enough space for titles and labels (see <a href="http://gnuplot.info/demo/margins.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">demo</a>). Still not a perfect solution but sometimes more convenient.</p> <p>Is there a possibility that I am not aware of or does possibly a tool exist to create layouts?</p>
