Speaking for myself I have dropped suggestions in the WRI box on both
counts.
(a) Horizontal tick labels that print vertically upwards to avoid
overlapping text.
(b) Menu-based graphics alignment command that uses the actual graphics
frame rectangle (plot area) instead of the overall plot size (which includes
text labels) to align graphics.
No word back on any of this.
