Tiled Graphs

This is used to plot a bunch of waves, or columns of waves, on one graph, each with its own set of axes. So you could plot 12 waves in a 4x3 matrix of "subgraphs". They are all still associated with the same window, though. Create a blank graph before using.

Function TileAppend(waves,rows,cols[,left,right,low,high,xLog,yLog,box,labels,xLabel,yLabel,xMargin,yMargin,grout])
    wave /wave waves // Can be a bunch of 1D waves, a matrix (will plot columns), or a stack (will plot beams, and use the dimension sizes of the stack instead of provided rows and cols values).  
    variable rows,cols
    variable left,right // Left and right values for x-axes.
    variable low,high // Low and high values for y-axes.
    variable xLog,yLog // Set x and/or y axes to log scale.  
    variable box // 0 for no mirror axes, 1 for only mirror x-axes, 2 for only mirror y-axes, and 3 for mirror axes both ways.  
    string labels // Labels for axes.  
    string xLabel,yLabel // Master labels for the axes.  
    variable xMargin,yMargin // Margins (as a fraction of graph size) for the axes closests to the edge of the graph window.  
    variable grout // Grout as a fraction of the graph window size.  
   
    xMargin=paramisdefault(xMargin) ? 0.02 : xMargin
