Dear colleagues,
can I reiterate Scot's question? This is an old shortcoming of
Mathematica und I'm not aware if it has been corrected in Version 4. Look
at the simple case of two stacked diagrams:
Show[GraphicsArray[{{Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2 Pi},
DisplayFunction -> Identity]}, {Plot[10000 Sin[x], {x, 0, 2
Pi},
DisplayFunction -> Identity]}}],
DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction]
The fact that one cannot stack different plots over the same x-axis
without trial and error is a serious shortcoming of Mathematica. Any
decent scientific graphics package can do this! It effectively means that
one has to export the data to annother graphics package... I hope that
somebody from WRI can comment on this. Is there a workaround? or at least
something in the pipeline for the next upgrade of Mathematica?
Cheers,
Martin Heimann
