I assume the meaning is: A document contains a number of plots most of
which is plotted at a "default size". For some reason the author happens
to want to include a multiplot at such a size that each sub plot is the
same size as all the rest.

To be honest, the more I think about it, the less sure I am that multiplot
is/was a good idea. Surely just as gnuplot isn't a data-processing
application, it also isn't a page layout program either. Are there any
uses for multiplot that couldn't be just as easily acheived by montaging
the plots together in an Image Editor, DTP, LaTeX, or whatever?
