For talks and papers, I frequently need to create multiple x-y plots (scatter plots with data points). Although I used to use my own program for making these, the world has moved on and I've been forced to start using Microsoft's Excel.
The problem for me is that I can't seem to figure out how to force the physical lengths of the x and y axes to specified distances. I'm not talking about the bounds on the axes or the labels, but how long the axes actually are (e.g. 2" x 2" or whatever). This is important if you are going to put multiple graphs on one page. You can highlight and drag the bounds of the plot area to change the dimensions, but I find it difficult to exactly match things up this way, and the dimension have a tendency to change when you change something else (e.g. font sizes, etc.)
I would assume this is a simple matter, but I can't seem to find the answer...
Anyone know?
