[daip] POSSM multi-IF

[Leonia Kogan]

Lorant,

Let me start with your second remark about POSSM:

>Also for APARM(9)=1, it seems that NPLOTS=6 makes NPLOTS=5 etc, ie
>in short

I can not reproduce this at my mashine with my data. NPLOTS=6 makes 6 plots at one page.

Your first remark:

>if NPLOTS > 1 and APARM(9) > 0, usually the last single plot is put on a new
>page, regardless whether there is still place in the previous NPLOTS
>display.

is reproduced at my mashine partially:
If NPLOTS=2 4 6 9 then the last single plot is not put on a new page
                                               ^^^
For other NPLOTS, for example NPLOTS=5, the last single plot can be put on a new page.
And I see the reasonable logic at such behaviour of POSSM.
It descretes the number of plots at one page by the following number 2 4 6 9 and plots 
all pages with the given number (NPLOTS) of plots at each page. 

All pages should have identical 
number of plots. You wnat to have an exclusion for the last page.

So you want to have 5 plots on all pages but the last one and 6 on the last page.
I think the current POSSM logic is correct.

Hi Eric,

Didn't get to pinpoint this more accurately this week, and thought I'd 
leave it anyway behind for you when you come back (when I'll be gone)

There seems to be a little nastyness in the logic of the code for
displaying the IF's next to eachother (multi-IF plots). Some examples, if
NPLOTS > 1 and APARM(9) > 0, usually the last single plot is put on a new
page, regardless whether there is still place in the previous NPLOTS
display. Also for APARM(9)=1, it seems that NPLOTS=6 makes NPLOTS=5 etc, ie
in short: the combination of NPLOTS and APARM(9) seems fragile.

Maybe you can remind me after Nov 15 to show you some of these combinations 
with their outputs
