STACKINGARRANGEMENT

Function:

Positioning multiple plots on the paper.

Description:

When you are using multiple PLOT files, you can specify the layout of the individual plots on the paper. You can align the plots along the paper, that is with their long sides parallel to the length of the paper, or across the paper, that is with their short sides parallel to the length of the paper. You can specify how many drawings should be plotted in the given direction.

The default format is STACKINGARRANGEMENT 1 ALONG which produces a single row of drawings with their long sides aligned with the length of the paper.

Note :
You must make sure that there is enough room across the width of the paper for the arrangement you have specified. The length of the paper is specified in the FILE command.

The stacking facility has no meaning, and is ignored, when single PLOT files are used.

Examples:

STACK 2 ACROSS

will orientate the drawing frames across the width of the paper, two abreast:

STACK 3 ALONG

will orient the drawing frames along the width of the paper, three high:
