There may be a more elefant succinct solution but it is possible to
draw the graphs seperately then combine them using -graph combine-.
Generally I consider it to be good practice to have all graphs with
the same scale as it makes them comparable, and avoids errors in
interpretation, but there are instances where this can be problem e.g.
one of the sub-graphs has a data point several orders of magnitutde
higher than the others, and therefore it is very hard to read any
information from the other graphs. Always ensure that each individual
plot has an appropriate scale though.
