st: Q on Graph Combine: how to put 3 or less graphs on a 2x3 format (leaving multiple holes)

[Sui Zhang <sui-zhang@northwestern.edu>]

Dear All,

We are trying to generate a number of graphs to the clients. To standardize, we are thinking of presenting the graphs in a 2x3 format. It works fine when there's 5 or 6 graphs, eg:

> graph combine g1 g2 g3 g4 g5 g6, rows(3) xsize(8) ysize(10.5) t("full page of 6 figures")

However, if there's less than 4 figures, the graph combine command will expand the figures into 2x2 or 3x1, just to cover the entire sheet, which will result in un-standardized larger figures. Is there a way to present multiple holes? Such as the concept of following:

> graph combine g1 g2 g3, rows(3) holes (4 5 6) xsize(8) ysize(10.5) t("half page of 3 figures")

Please help. 

Thank you.
