If you had different -over()-s, an algorithm that let`s you decide whether a
-label- is "too long" to look good on the graph would be needed, and code
that would break the lines for you and put them in the proper format for
-relabel()- to digest. Doable, but difficult...

Large number of graphs, but the same -over()- option for
each, so can code manually if needed. But would be nice to
store in a macro.
