I am trying to do a multi plot to an encapsulated postscript file using
XWINDOW.pro. My problem is that the axis titles keep getting truncated
by the bounding box. Is there a way to ensure that the whole plot
(including titles) fits in the bounding box (or plot window for that
matter)?
thanks

As I was reading about XYOUTS, I found a way to get Plot to do what I
want.
You take the title that you want to use and add '!C'.
tempTitle = title+'!C'
Now plot shifts everything so that it displays correctly and avoids me
having to do the math to position the title and play with fudge
factors. And, it works for printing also.
Thanks for the hints and ideas!

You will have to use XYOUTS to put the title on. Something like
this:
data = Findgen(11)
Plot, data, XStyle=8, YStyle=8, Position=[0.15, 0.15, 0.9, 0.85], $
XTitle='1st X Title', YTitle='1st Y Title'
Axis, YAxis=1, YRange=[0,10], /Save, YTitle='2nd Y Title'
Axis, XAxis=1, XRange=[0,15], /Save, XTitle='2nd X Title'
x = (!X.Window[1] - !X.Window[0]) / 2. + !X.Window[0]
y = 0.92
XYOuts, x, y, 'This is plot title', /Normal, Align=0.5, Charsize=1.5
Cheers,
David
