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.
