I have a main coordinate system, and inside this I would like to plot some data in an inset. Here is my MWE:

\documentclass[pstricks,border=16pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{pst-node, pst-coil, pst-plot}
\psset
{
    unit=0.1cm,
}

\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=false](0.0, -25)(108, 23.0)
\psaxes[Dx=10,Dy=10,linewidth=1pt, ticksize=2pt, Oy=-20]{->}(0.0,-20)(105,20)%THIS IS THE MAIN COORDINATE SYSTEM

%THIS IS MY DATA FOR THE INSET
\savedata{\mydata}[
{{0, 0}, {1., 0.946083}, {2., 1.60541}, {3., 1.84865}, {4., 1.7582},
{5., 1.54993}, {6., 1.42469}, {7., 1.4546}, {8., 1.57419},
{9., 1.66504}, {10., 1.65835}, {11., 1.57831}, {12., 1.50497},
{13., 1.49936}, {14., 1.55621}, {15., 1.61819}, {16., 1.6313},
{17., 1.59014}, {18., 1.53661}, {19., 1.51863}, {20., 1.54824}}]
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}

The data I want to plot in an inset, which I would like to be able to move around freely inside the "main" coordinate system. Is there a smart way to do this in PSTricks?

EDIT: I sincerely apologize, but I forgot to note that the inset-plot should have psaxes including labels. This edit was made after Herbert's answer.

\documentclass[pstricks,border=16pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{pst-plot}
\psset{unit=0.1}
\begin{document}

\savedata{\mydata}[
{{0, 0}, {1., 0.946083}, {2., 1.60541}, {3., 1.84865}, {4., 1.7582},
{5., 1.54993}, {6., 1.42469}, {7., 1.4546}, {8., 1.57419},
{9., 1.66504}, {10., 1.65835}, {11., 1.57831}, {12., 1.50497},
{13., 1.49936}, {14., 1.55621}, {15., 1.61819}, {16., 1.6313},
{17., 1.59014}, {18., 1.53661}, {19., 1.51863}, {20., 1.54824}}]

\begin{pspicture}(-5, -25)(108, 23.0)
\psaxes[Dx=10,Dy=10,linewidth=1pt, ticksize=2pt, Oy=-20]{->}(0.0,-20)(105,20)%THIS IS THE MAIN COORDINATE SYSTEM
\listplot[linecolor=blue]{\mydata}
\rput(50,-10){\listplot[linecolor=red]{\mydata}}
\rput(70,10){\listplot[linecolor=green]{\mydata}}
\end{pspicture}

\end{document}

See also http://tug.org/PSTricks/main.cgi?file=pst-plot/fileplot the first example shows a specific part of a data plot in another scaling.

If you need it together with a coordinate system then define an own command:

\documentclass[pstricks,border=16pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{pst-plot}
\psset{unit=0.1}

\savedata{\mydata}[
{{0, 0}, {1., 0.946083}, {2., 1.60541}, {3., 1.84865}, {4., 1.7582},
{5., 1.54993}, {6., 1.42469}, {7., 1.4546}, {8., 1.57419},
{9., 1.66504}, {10., 1.65835}, {11., 1.57831}, {12., 1.50497},
{13., 1.49936}, {14., 1.55621}, {15., 1.61819}, {16., 1.6313},
{17., 1.59014}, {18., 1.53661}, {19., 1.51863}, {20., 1.54824}}]

\makeatletter
\def\myPlot{\@ifnextchar[\myPlot@i{\myPlot@i[]}}
\def\myPlot@i[#1](#2)#3#4{{%
  \rput[lb](#2){%
    \begin{pspicture}(0,0)(25,15)
    \listplot[#1]{#3}%
    \psaxes[Dx=10,Dy=10,linewidth=1pt,ticksize=2pt,linecolor=black,#4]{->}(0,0)(25,15)
  \end{pspicture}}%
}}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\begin{pspicture}(-5, -25)(108, 23.0)
\psaxes[Dx=10,Dy=10,linewidth=1pt, ticksize=2pt, Oy=-20]{->}(0.0,-20)(105,20)
\myPlot[linecolor=red](0,0){\mydata}{}
\myPlot[linecolor=red](50,-10){\mydata}{labelFontSize=\scriptscriptstyle}
\myPlot[linecolor=green](70,10){\mydata}{ticksize=-4pt 4pt
\end{pspicture}

\end{document}

  • I sincerely apologize, but I forgot to add in my OP that the inset-plot show have psaxes with labels. I will edit my OP.

    see my enhanced answer. It has a second example

  • What if I want to be able to control the sizes of the ticklabels of the inset-plots independently of the main ticklabels? Let me know if I should create a new thread instead of asking here.. seems relevant to continue here

    sure! Hold the definition for the rotation lokal

    In the inset macro you can set everything. It should already local.
