Re: Inset plots

Hi David,

Here's the example you'll see from "GO/HELP split_list" together with an inset
box:

------

SET DATA levitus_climatology
SET WINDOW/ASPECT=1
go split_z FILL "/lev=(0,4,.5)(0,30,2)" "temp[X=160W,Y=45S:45N]" 0 500 4000 0.4
define view/xlimits=.6:.9/ylimits=.3:.5 ins
set view ins
go magnify 1.8	! optional
ppl box on    	! optional
contour/k=1 temp

-------

To make a split-Z style plot inside another viewport make yourself a modified
copy of split_z.jnl and change the "define viewport" lines in the script. Those
lines will allow you to position the viewports used by split_z any place that
you want.

Note that there are various techniques for coloring the background of the
inset. Here's a brute force method:
yes? go magnify 100
yes? shade/palette=white/i=1:2/j=1:2/lev=(0)/nolab 0*i*j
yes? ppl axset 0,0,0,0
yes? shade/palette=white/i=1:2/j=1:2/lev=(0)/nolab 0*i*j

I hope this helps - steve
