I put the coma in the wrong place...
ImagePadding -> None, FrameMargins -> 0

Hi, Kamil,

In addition to this tip (see below) I often use a combination of
several graphs in one, of coarse if the graphics distribution on the
image area allows it. This gives me enormous gain in terms of the
journal space. Here Inset may make a great job.

Below I give the example taken from the response of J. Batista. It is
not the best example for combination,
since on the plane of the image there is almost no free space. The
commands are however, the same:


Plot3D[Im[ArcSin[(x + I y)^4]], {x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2}, Mesh -> None,
PlotStyle -> Directive[Yellow, Specularity[White, 20], Opacity[0.8]],
ExclusionsStyle -> {None, Red}, Axes -> False, Boxed -> False,
Epilog ->
Inset[Framed[Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, \[Pi]}]], Scaled[{0.27, 0.25}]]]

or like this one:

Show[{Plot3D[Im[ArcSin[(x + I y)^4]], {x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2},
Mesh -> None,
PlotStyle ->
Directive[Yellow, Specularity[White, 20], Opacity[0.8]],
ExclusionsStyle -> {None, Red}, Axes -> False, Boxed -> False,
Epilog ->
Inset[Framed[
Plot3D[Sin[x*y], {x, 0, \[Pi]}, {y, 0, \[Pi]}, Axes -> False,
Boxed -> False]], Scaled[{0.27, 0.29}]]],
Graphics3D[Text[Style["a", 30], Scaled[{0.05, 0.05, 0.5}]]]}]

Then you describe the inset in details in the figure caption, something
like "Inset a) shows....".

Have success, Alexei


Here is a possible solution. You need to append the options Axes -> False,
Boxed -> False to your plot command line. For example: try the following
(note: the original Plot3D command comes from the Mathematica 7
documentation, while I appended the two above options to illustrate removal
of the frame):

Plot3D[Im[ArcSin[(x + I y)^4]], {x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2}, Mesh -> None,
PlotStyle -> Directive[Yellow, Specularity[White, 20], Opacity[0.8]],
ExclusionsStyle -> {None, Red}, Axes -> False, Boxed -> False]

Regards,
J. Batista
