Change the size of a sub-figure?

How can I make the scatter plot take up, say, 75% of the horizontal and vertical space?

using CairoMakie

    n = 3000
    r = randn(2,3000)
    x = @view r[1,:]
    y = @view r[2,:]
    
    fig = Figure(resolution = (1200, 800), font = "sans", fontsize = 20)
    ax1 = (Axis(fig[1, 1]))
    density!(ax1, y; bins = 20, color = :orange, strokewidth = 1,
        strokecolor = :black, label = "20 bins")
    
    ax3 = Axis(fig[2, 1]; xlabel = "value", ylabel = "counts")
    ax4 = Axis(fig[2, 2]; xlabel = "value", ylabel = "counts")
    scatter!(ax3, x, y; markersize = 4, color = :black,label="samples")
    axislegend(ax3; position = :rt)
    
    density!(ax4, x; label = "default",direction=:y)
    fig

Which currently looks like:

Solution

  • You can change them after the fact with

    rowsize!(fig.layout, 2, Auto(3))
colsize!(fig.layout, 1, Auto(3))

    See https://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/tutorials/layout-tutorial/ for more info on building layouts. enter image description here

    Also, as Mikael writes in the comment below, you should probably link the axes with

    linkxaxes!(ax1, ax3)
linkyaxes!(ax3, ax4)

    when aligning the plots like this.
