OK, but at the moment, I cannot think of further papers to point you to. I did check in Jan V. White's books, but he doesn't discuss the placement issue. Tufte's 3 books are more about the contents of the pictures, rather than their placement. In any event, you probably have those 5 on your shelf already. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H. F.
