Hallo Reimar,

I am not exactly sure why !D.Y_CH_Size shouldn't work on all devices.
Here is a piece of code from my AxLabel routine which may help:

; Get y position for label
; Subtract one character size
PY = !Y.Window
PYOFF = CONVERT_COORD(1,!D.Y_CH_SIZE*CHARSIZE,/DEVICE,/TO_NORMAL)
PY = PY - 1.05*PYOFF[1]

(it calculates the position for a label on the x axis by placing it
below the axis with a 5% margin)

Viele Gruesse,
Martin
