mul.gs

mul - Specify the position of the figure easily when plotting several figures.

mul
    imax jmax ( ipos jpos | -n npos )
    [-xoffset xoffset] [-yoffset yoffset]
    [-novpage]
    [-xini x-initial] [-xwid x-width] [-xint x-interval]
    [-yini y-initial] [-ywid y-width] [-yint y-interval]
    [-grads on | off]

To show help, simply run "color".

imax

Number of windows horizontally (1-5).

jmax

Number of windows vertically (1-5).

ipos

Position of windows horizontally (1-imax).

jpos

Position of windows vertically (1-jmax).

npos

Position of windows from top-left (1-imax*jmax).

xoffset

Offset of windows horizontally, default=0.

yoffset

Offset of windows vertically, default=0.

-novpage

Avoid "set vpage.

x-initial, y-initial

Lower-left position when "mul ? ? 1 1".

x-width, y-width

Width of figure.

x-interval, y-interval

Interval of figures.

-grads

Run "set grads" after setting display.

(1) Try the following command on GrADS:

ga-> open u.ctl
ga-> open v.ctl
ga-> open t.ctl
ga-> set lev 850
ga-> mul 3 2 1 1
ga-> d u.1
ga-> mul 3 2 2 1
ga-> d v.2
ga-> mul 3 2 3 1
ga-> d t.3
ga-> set lev 300
ga-> mul 3 2 1 2
ga-> d u.1
ga-> mul 3 2 2 2
ga-> d v.2
ga-> mul 3 2 3 2
ga-> d t.3

You will see the following figures.
