Hi all,
I am trying to make a plot like on attached picture. The major difficulties concern marking a range (with gray stripe), here on horizontal axis.
Following I will describe my problems in order of importance.
1. The grayed area should be 'below' the inset picture, as well as below the data points (crosses and a line).
'Below' means, it should be overlapped by over objects. Unfortunately 'send to back' does not work here (because we have layers).
The grayed area was made just using 'draw rectangle'. I know that people sometimes do it using another set of data--but this would not solve the problem with inset overlapping, I suppose.
2. The data point (upper-left and lower-right corner) overlap axis.
Can it be avoided? If you enlarge the picture, you see that it is not perfect overlapping, just making the axis locally thinner. Anyhow, it would be nicer to avoid it.
3. The inset does not overlap the 'main' layer data point.
In that particular case it is not a problem--I can move the inset. But, if we already are discussing overlapping... ;)
Any solution-idea is of course welcome.
Regards,

Hi Chris,
1. Since you're using a fill pattern you can just set the fill color to None. Then data in both layers should show through.
2. Go to layer properties and uncheck 'Clip data to frame' on the Display tab.
3. Not sure what to do about this. You might try reordering the layers... page.reorder(1,2).

Hi Chris,
To solve problem number 3 (the host layer data show through the inset layer), open the graph window's Plot Details dialog box. At the Page level, choose Miscellaneous and enable Draw Layer by Layer. Then set the inset layer's Background to Color=White. This should "white out" the underlying data.
