Synopsis
Modifies the widths of one column of plots created by split or grid_objects.
Syntax
adjust_grid_xrelsize(column, size) adjust_grid_xrelsize(id, column, size)
Description
The function arguments.
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| column | The column number to change, where the columns are numbered from left to right, starting at 1. |
| size | The new width of the column given as a ratio to the other columns, so size=1 means the same size, size=2 is twice as wide. |
| id | A ChipsId structure identifying the item. |
The adjust_grid_xrelsize command the size of a column of plots relative to the other columns in the frame created by split or grid_objects.
The width of the specified column is set to "size * unit_width". All other columns are set to unit_width.
The following is used to determine the widths of the columns:
available_area = 1 - (left_margin + right_margin + (num_cols -1)*xgapsize)
unit_width = available_area / ((num_cols-1) + size)
To change the spacing between the plots, use the adjust_grid_gaps command.
Examples
Example 1
chips> split(3,3) chips> adjust_grid_xrelsize(2,2)
A split command is issued to create a grid of 9 plots. The adjust_grid_xrelsize command sets the center column to be twice as wide as the other columns.
Example 2
chips> grid_objects(2,2,.05,.05,1) chips> adjust_grid_xrelsize(1,.5)
A grid_objects command is called to create a grid of 4 plot areas. The adjust_grid_xrelsize command makes the first column half as wide as the second column.
