Naji, thank's for the tip. There are some issues, though:
- The size of fonts is still being modified. This can be
fixed by specifying -graph combine ..., ... iscale(1)-
- Graphs can not be larger than 20in x 20in. This does not
really matter, though, as long as the proportion
between xsize and ysize remains constant (i.e., instead
of, e.g., size 30x20 one can just specify size 15x10).
- The main problem is that the method only works in the
special case with only one column (and overall xsize <
ysize) or one row (and overall ysize < xsize) of graphs.
Option -iscale()- may be used to rescale fonts/symbols
(e.g., in the case of an array of 2x3 graphs [and
overall ysize < xsize] specify -iscale(.5)-). However,
there are a lot of other sizes depending on min(overall
xsize, overall ysize), which cannot be influenced by
-iscale-. Thus, the single graphs will look differently.
After a lot of playing around, I could not find a satisfying
solution. I guess, the only way to solve the problem would
be to change the reference for the determination of relative
sizes to min(xsize,ysize) of the embedded graphs instead of
the combined graph. This, however, does not seem to be
possible.
