The Presentations package should be able to do that. It has the primitives XTickScale and YTickScale for drawing free standing scales. It also makes it easy to combine various elements in one drawing statement. So think of a piece of paper. 1) Make your plots without a frame or ticks, FrameLabel or PlotLabel. 2) Inset each plot in a fixed 'frame' on the piece of paper. 3) For each plot you can then draw tick scales just outside the frame region. The TickScale routines allow you specify that a given length on the piece of paper corresponds to a given scale. 4) You can add any other things on the piece of paper such as Text labels. This might require a certain amount of work if each plot has different scales and labels around it. David Park djmpark at comcast.net http://home.comcast.net/~djmpark/ From: dr DanW [mailto:dmaxwarren at gmail.com] Has anybody found a good technique to assume absolute control over the lengths of the axes in a 2D plot? I often have to build several graphs to be overlaid using transitions in presentation software and want to keep the plot area consistent for smooth transitions. ImageSize only gives control over dimensions of the resulting graphic. If there are frame labels or legends that change in size from one graph to the next than the whole graphic is constrained by ImageSize, shrinking my plot area. I have several workarounds, all of which break eventually. What I would really like is a FrameSize->{} option that overrides ImageSize and lets me set the dimensions of the plot area directly. Daniel
