ChIPS was removed from CIAO in the CIAO 4.12 release, with plotting now handled by Matplotlib.
Please see the ChIPS to Matplotlib conversion guide and contact the CXC Helpdesk if more help is needed.
Can I change the spacing between plots?
If you have created a grid of plots using either strip_chart or split then you can use the adjust_grid_gaps set of commands to change the horizontal or vertical spacing between the plots.
The spacing is measured in the frame-normalized coordinate system, so 0.1 represents ten percent of the width or height of the frame containing the plots.
Change the vertical space between plots
chips> adjust_grid_ygap(0.1)
Change the horizontal space between plots
chips> adjust_grid_xgap(0.1)
Change both horizontal and vertical spaces between plots
chips> adjust_grid_gaps(0.05, 0.1)
The following visualization shows the effect of these three commands on the grid of plots created by a split(3,3) call.
