Layouts in Igor Pro

A layout is the page: graphs and tables placed where the figure needs them.

Function BuildFigure()
    DoWindow/K FigureOne
    NewLayout/N=FigureOne

    AppendLayoutObject/F=0/R=(72, 72, 360, 288) graph TraceGraph
    AppendLayoutObject/F=0/R=(72, 300, 360, 516) graph MatrixView

    ModifyLayout mag=0.75, units=0
    TextBox/C/N=panelA/A=LT/F=0 "A"
End

How it works

1. NewLayout opens one; AppendLayoutObject places a window on it.
2. Coordinates are in points, from the top left of the page.
3. ModifyLayout sets the page size and orientation.
