Consider the -graph- command below, which is closely based on the
example on page 6 of [G]. The difference is that I'm specifying a
ytitle() for the second y-axis, said title is "Diff.". If I just
specify "ytitle( "Diff." axis(2) )", then the title is centered on the
entire y-axis. I want it moved down; to do this I included just(left),
and fiddled with the width() option until it was sitting where I wanted.
Am I missing some cool option that will make this easier? I'm
imagining something like:
ytitle( "Diff." , just(center) at(10) )
which would place the title relative to the location of the value "10"
on the scale?
Cheers,
Nick Winter
