I would make your feature requests more widely known,
especially to people who might be able to do something
about it. None of us here are going to be doing any
"programming" (in the sense of adding features to
an already existing set of routines) in the new
graphics world. :-)
Cheers,
David

Thanks, I see. It's evolving, hopefully in the right direction.
Nevertheless, translating position coordinates between "global" and
"local" in multi plots (layout=[4,4,i] seems is a generic problem. I
know how to do it in direct graphics but can't quite figure out how to
do it in the new graphics world. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Axel

I wouldn't agonize too much over where you are going to put
the legend. It's going to move when you resize the window,
anyway. :-)

But, to get started, it seems to like normalized
coordinates best.
