As seen on the [[isis:slxfig:multiplot]] page all plots in xfig are objects and can be combined. To plot a plot within another one, we need to add the object which defines the inset plot to the object which defines the overall plot. This can be done with the routine **''add_object''** of a given xfig-object. If ''a'' is an xfig object, and we want to plot ''b'' inside it, the command would be
a.add_object(b, x, y) ;
where ''x'' and ''y'' are the coordinates where the center of ''b'' will appear within in ''a'' in coordinates of ''a''.
If ''x'' and ''y'' are omitted, ''b'' is not translated, but added to ''a'' "as it is".

More information can be obtained by reading ''xfig_plot_new.add.object(;help)'' and ''help xfig_plot--wcs''.

===== Short example =====

variable x = [0:10:0.1] , y = cos(x) ;

variable a = xfig_plot_new(6,6) ;
variable b = xfig_plot_new(2,2) ;

a.world(0,10,-1.5, 1.5) ;
a.plot(x,y) ;

b.world(0,10,-1,1);
b.axis(;off) ;
b.plot([0,10],[-1,-1] ; color="red") ;
b.plot([0,0],[-1,1] ; color="blue2") ;
b.plot(x,y) ;

a.add_object(b, 5, 0, -0.5, -0.5) ;

a.render("plots/testsin.eps") ;
