I would like to know how to control, with precision, the placement of graphical output within a notebook. It seems that Mathematica has many defaults built-in for the layout of graphical objects in notebooks. These usually are quite good; however, sometimes it would be useful to know how to override these defaults. For example, suppose I have a long "PlotLabel" with a long "AxesLabel" (on the vertical axis) then this can cause these labels to be superimposed on each other -- not very nice to look at. Also, the length of the AxesLabel can effect the size of the data plot display region; i.e. the larger the vertical axis label the smaller the actual data plot. Often one would like to align vertically several plots and this can be quite tedious when sizes of the plots are changed automatically. How can one control, precisely, the placement of graphical objects within a notebook? It would be nice to have some LaTex-type placement commands. -- V. Stokes
