inlays positioned in graph coordinates?

Show all headers | View raw

Dear list,

I want to use multiplot to insert several small inlays into a bigger
graph. To be precise, the big graph shows some large-scale data, and
the inlays should provide zooms into regions of interest. The actual
data to plot is not known at the time of scripting, which is why I
cannot statically set the position of the inlays (in screen
coordinates).

What I would like to do -- if it were possible -- is to set the origin
of the inlays in graph coordinates (of the bigger graph), such that I
can read them out of the data at processing time. For example, if my
data happens to cover the range [-10;100][0;10], I would like to
command gnuplot to set the inlay, say at 10,5 (in graph coordinates).

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell from reading the documentation and
forums, set origin only allows to specify screen coordinates. Am I
missing something? Is there a recommended way to transform one
coordinate system to the other?

Would be happy to hear your input...
Thanks! harold.
