Dave, I see where you are going re a global caption. plmtex() seems appropriate. Is there a preferred way to set a full-page viewport for it? One thought is to simply draw early and maybe it will have defaulted to same?? Obviously it would be better to have it be intentional.
Labeling only an x or y axis will work, but let's say the goal is to label a common y axis for a row of graphs. Is there a distinction between empty (just that) and null (non-existent) label for the x axis? In C terms, I guess I am asking whether the library will recognize a NULL as meaning "don't draw the label, and don't even reserve space for it" vs. an empty string saying "reserve space, just don't put anything there." Does that make sense? There are various ways it could misbehave; I assume the most likely is that empty x-axis labels would lead to perhaps unwanted space between the various sub-plots.

I'm not sure, but maybe manually setting the viewport to "full page" and then using one of the text writing functions? > Is there a way to label a common x or y axis (for a column or row)? How about just labeling the X axes of the bottom row plots and the Y axes of the left column of plots and leaving all the rest of the plots unlabeled? Hope this helps and thanks for the fresh perspective!
