Hey everyone,

do you know if there is an easy way to label the rows and columns of a
GraphicsGrid? like this:

Label A Graph Graph Graph
Label B Graph Graph Graph
Label C Graph Graph Graph
Label 1 Label 2 Label 3

Thanks,
Ren=E9

The only way I really know how to do it is to stick in extra rows /
columns for the labels. I'd like to have RowLabels and ColumnLabels as
options for Grid and GraphicsGrid.

Hi,
GraphicsGrid does not have a labeling mechanism like Table. Thererfore,
you must include the labels into the data. here is a simple example:

g = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}];
GraphicsGrid[{{"label11", g, g}, {"label12", g, g}, {"", "label21",
"label22"}}]

plts ==
Table[
Plot[a*x^b, {x, 0, 1}],
{a, 3}, {b, 0, 2}];

rowLabels == Table["a == " <> ToString[a], {a, 3}];
columnLabels == Prepend[
Table["b == " <> ToString[b], {b, 0, 2}], ""];

Grid[
Append[
Transpose[
Prepend[Transpose[plts], rowLabels]],
columnLabels]]

Epilog would be your best bet. It's easy but tedious.

Hi Ren=E9 & Daniel,

Another suggestion is to customize to your taste:-

graphics == MapThread[
Plot[#1[x], {x, 0, 2 Pi},
FrameLabel -> {"x\n\n" <> #2, #1[x], #1[x], None},
Frame -> True] &, {{Sin, Cos, Tan, Cot}, {"( a )", "( b )",
"( c )", "( d )"}}];

GraphicsGrid[Partition[graphics, 2], ImageSize -> 800]

I believe I got the idea some years back from David Park (because it seems so elegant).

Cheers .... Syd
