PANEL
PANEL specifies the panel location, panel outline color, line type
and width separated with slashes:
panel location / outline color / line type / width / region
The panel location determines the location of the view region on the
graphics device. It may be specified using a number or abbreviation
as follows:
NUMBER ABBREVIATION DESCRIPTION
0 ALL Entire device
1 UL Upper left quadrant
2 UR Upper right quadrant
3 LL Lower left quadrant
4 LR Lower right quadrant
5 L Left half
6 R Right half
7 T Top half
8 B Bottom half
An easy 9-panel capability uses abbreviations M1,...,M9 which will
be laid out on the page as:
M1 M2 M3
M4 M5 M6
M7 M8 M9
Horizontal or vertical panels which divide the screen into thirds or
fourths may be created using the syntax Tij where T is either V for
vertical or H for horizontal, i is 3 for thirds or 4 for fourths,
and j is the actual panel counting from the top or left.
The view region may also be specified as four numbers separated with
semicolons, giving the lower left and upper right corners in fractions
of the graphics display area. The origin is in the lower left of the
display. For example, the lower left quadrant can be given as:
0;0;.5;.5
If the panel location is unspecified, the current location is unchanged.
The panel outline color, line type and line width specify the values
used to draw a box around the specified region. The valid regions are
VIEW, PLOT and DEVICE. If the color is 0 or unspecified, no box is drawn.
