DPlot

Would there by a way to program a new type of window in dplot that would not itself be a new plot window, but be an aggregation of other dplot windows that are already open?

For example, suppose I had 4 plot windows with plots of 4 different data sets. And I want to customize and edit/annotate the final arrangement of those 4 plots to make a final image/graphic/pdf/etc. The existing option is to use the "multiple" option at print time, but that has limited capability. If there were a new window type, it might be easy for the user to line up and annotate a final set of plots.

The new window type could have a dialog box that gives the user the ability to select the names or numbers of the existing dplot windows to include, and how to arrange & size them relative to each other.

Rich,
This would probably be easy enough to do, but not until you tell me what "but that has limited capability" means. What other options/capabilities would you add beyond what you can now do with the "Multiple" button?

Sorry for being cryptic with that reply. I was mainly thinking that the print multiple option was limited to printing to a device rather than a graphics file. If I want to get multiple graphs in an image file, I usually print to my SnagIt virtual printer. Also, the user cannot create a single annotation that spans the borders with the print multiple option.

A new graph aggregator window would, for example, make it easy to line up 3 graphs vertically and create a single vertical line annotation that cuts through and highlights the same time step in all three graphs.

Ah! Thanks for the explanation. That's a good idea, will definitely add it to the list.
