Version: 0.99devel (using KDE KDE 3.2.1) Installed from: RedHat RPMs OS: Linux When you have a plot that doesn't have axis labels or a title, the space where the label would live is still wasted (the plot doesn't grow and fill this space). This space shouldn't be wasted (especially important for printed pages and small windows).
Some space is wasted by design. Perhaps the top and bottom label space could be squished down though.
The problem here is that often the user may have aligned a plot with no labels with one that does have labels. In this case they would almost certainly want to have the y-axes aligned, which would no longer be the case if we expand the plot without labels into the unused label region.
Would it be too difficult to expand the plot only if there were no cases where it is aligned with another plot that does have a label etc?
I think the full solution is: (i) extend the x-border allignment stuff to give min width for all 4 borders (ii) convince labels to return a height of 0 if they are empty (ii) can be done immediately and trivially. We can see if it causes trouble.
