Re: Problems with plot labeling

Mary,

Adding the line you suggested, "res_at_pmTitleZone = 2" , did produce
changes in both the x-axis and y-axis labels. Both labels were moved
closer to the plot, so that they both now overlap the axis numbers.
The x-axis label is now above the label bar, but the result is not
good, and now the y-axis title is also in the wrong place. Adjusting
the value of res_at_pmTitleZone does not change anything.

This still does not achieve what I wanted, which was simply to put
the x-axis label between the plot and the label bar.

Do you or anyone else know how I can do this ?. I enclose the current
plot and my current script.

Thanks,
Helen.
