Dear Mathematica Experts,
I have got a problem concerning "GraphicsArray and alignment of graphs".
The problem is that I could not figure out, how to align horizontally the
frames of two graphs with identical x-axis (scale), but different y-axis
(scale) in a convenient way.
To illustrate the problem:
fig1 = Plot[x, {x, 0, 10}, Frame->True]
fig2 = Plot[x^4, {x, 0, 10}, Frame->True]
Show[GraphicsArray[{{fig1}, {fig2}}]]
The two frames are not aligned horizontally.
I would like to have both frames aligned horizontally. This is not
possible with "Align Selected Graphics". I have searched the mathematica
newsgroup, the site of WRI and just came across the same problem posed
about five years ago, and then several times again, without finding a
satisfying answer.
Somebody proposed to apply Rectangle[Scaled[]... to one of the figures
until they align. However, this is quite a tedious procedure, especially
if there are several graphs to align.
I think it is quite common in some sciences to make this kind of aligned
plots, showing for example data & fit in one graph and the residuals in
another or showing a contourplot in one graph and a projection in another.
Please let me know, how to get around this problem (still using
Mathematica and not exporting the data for another software).
Kind regards,
Thomas Bohl.
