To leave space for titles and other annotation, you can
use the "outside" margin system variables !Y.OMargin
and !X.OMargin. But be careful. These measure space
in "character" units. Some experimentation is almost
always required. :-)

Using XYOUTS in normalized coordinates is probably the best you'll get (You'd
need to set the positions of the plots manually as !P.multi doesn't leave you
any space.
