Re: [ferret_users] Ferret multi_view

Sorry, I was wrong in what I said last time.

DEF VI/AXES is not in inches from the edge of the page, but fractions of the page. 

To see the difference, try:

can vi
define view/axes/x=0:0.5/y=0:1 leftnoaxes
set view leftnoaxes
go ptest

define view/x=0.5,1/y=0:1 rightaxes
set view rightaxes
go ptest

For more control, use DEFINE VIEWPORT/AXES which are in inches relative to the left/bottom corner of the page. That let's you put a viewport right on the edge of the page, or wherever you want.
