How can I create a single window
with multiple charts?
Symptoms
With multiple charts, each chart is shown in a separate window. Exporting such charts results in a separate file for each.
Cause
This is by design, since each chart can thus be sized at will.
Resolution
Use gx_draw with a windows object as the first item. (vsn 1.11). See multiwin.e for an example.
or
Launch IGX Tools, and create a new window (File/New) of the desired size, using 24 bits per pixel. For each IGX window, resize the window to the desired size, and copy the chart to the clipboard as a bitmap (Edit/Copy to Clipboard), and then paste it into the IGX Tools window. Move it with the mouse to the desired location, then double click the image, or type <Enter>. To undo, use the Edit/Undo menu item followed by the Windows/Reset Image Area. Additional images can then be added using the same method. Transparent effects are possible using the PasteSpecial/And menu item.
The finished item can be saved in one of the export formats, or printed. Note that gx_draw can also be used to print multiple charts on a single page.
