Thanks for the response. Of the two suggestions the latter is close
to what I was hoping four. However, ideally there would be no gap
between the side plots when the plot is 'tall'. Phrased another way,
as the total plot gets larger, I would like the second column of the
lay1 to take up a greater proportion of the figure. So that a resize
in the Y, changes the allocation of column space in the X. I don't
suppose that is possible, is it?
Cheers
