Data and setup.
sysuse auto, clear

grstyle set color sb, select(2): histogram_line
Main graph.
scatter price mpg
Add a histogram.
grinset r=5: histogram mpg, percent
Move the inset to a different position, change size, and change scaling of text and markers.
grinset t=5 r=5, size(20) scale(0.4)
Add a second histogram.
grinset t=5 20, size(20) scale(0.4): histogram price, percent
Main changes:
29apr2023 (version 1.0.1)
- options size(), scale(), and name() are now also allowed in Syntax 2
- it now also possible to modify insets other than the inset added last
- the scheme of the main graph was only passed through to first inset, but not
to subsequent insets; this is fixed
- option name() returned error if position other than 0 0 was specified; this
is fixed
- in Syntax 1, positioning of inset could go wrong because xsize/ysize was not
passed through correctly; this is fixed
27apr2023 (version 1.0.0)
- released on github
