fixed label bar location / tick mark label boundaries

I've run into a wall trying to resolve an issue related to the drawing
location for the label bar. The text labels for the tick marks are being
drawn beyond the edge of the fixed viewport - leading to adjacent
components being shifted for that frame. I'm trying to create animation
sequences, where the x/y grid is mobile, so the x and y axis labels
change with time. So, when the tick mark label is drawn as major axes
move into the plot range, it causes a horizontal shift in the location
of the label bar (drawn vertically in this case) (Title bar will also
'hop' in this scenario with new labels at the top of the plot - but that
is an easy fix) - which is aesthetically undesireable for an animation.
I would be happy to either fix the draw location of the label bar in NDC
coordinates, or the ability to prevent the axis labelling if the label
would extend beyond the normal bounds. Unfortunately - I don't see any
way to do either, but I'm probably just missing it somewhere and
hopefully someone else can point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Glen
