Example of canvas partitioning. Sometimes the Divide() method is not appropriate to divide a Canvas. Because of the left and right margins, all the pads do not have the same width and height. CanvasPartition does that properly. This example also ensure that the axis labels and titles have the same sizes and that the tick marks length is uniform. In addition, XtoPad and YtoPad allow to place graphics objects like text in the right place in each sub-pads.
