### Multiplot options

The following options are used for multiplotting (placing several plots on a display, or a page, at once).

``--reposition x y size'`
  (Floats, defaults 0.0, 0.0, 1.0) Set the `virtual display' within which the next plot will be drawn to be a square of size size, with lower left corner (x,y). Normalized coordinates are used here: (0,0) means the lower left corner of the physical display and (1,1) means the upper right corner of the physical display. The size of the plot within the virtual display may be adjusted with the ``-h'` and ``-w'` options, and its position within the virtual display with the ``-u'` and ``-w'` options. After a ``--reposition'` command, the arguments of those four options will be interpreted in terms of the virtual display, not the physical display.
``--blankout blankout_fraction'`
  (Float, default 1.3.) When drawing each additional plot of a multiplot, it is desirable to clear the region of the display on which the plot will be drawn. If blankout_fraction=1.0, the region covered by the plot's plotting box will be cleared. If blankout_fraction=1.3, a region 30% larger in each dimension will be cleared. This is appropriate for inset plots; 1.0 would be appropriate for side by side plots. Note that `graph -T tek` cannot clear regions, and `graph -T hpgl` cannot clear them if the environment variables `HPGL_VERSION` and `HPGL_OPAQUE_MODE` are set to non-default values (i.e., values other than "2" and "yes", respectively).
