gridplot command
This new native command makes it possible to arrange several subplots in a grid (rectangular) layout. As such it will pretty much replace the contributed function package multiplot. There are basically two ways of using it:
First, using some other plotting commands, redirect the output to a string buffer inside a strings array. Then execute the gridplot command on that array. Example:
open australia
strings temparr = array(2)
qqplot IAU --outbuf=temparr[1]
kdplot E --outbuf=temparr[2]
gridplot temparr --output=display
Secondly, use the companion command gpbuild in a block format, and then define the individual parts:
open data4-10
gpbuild MyPlots
gnuplot ENROLL CATHOL
gnuplot ENROLL INCOME
gnuplot ENROLL COLLEGE
end gpbuild
gridplot MyPlots --output=display
