Greetings!
I want to produce a series of line-plot graphs with the same dimensions using Batch plotting.
I fixed the dimensions of the layer, but cannot fix the Y-axis label on the same place relative to the left page border. Thus the label moves horizontally for different graphs produced by Batch Plotting.
What is the correct way to fix label relative to the page border?

Hi Andrey,
The Axis Title is a special object called 'YL'. You can see this in the object's Programming tab in its Properties dialog. This object will move based on the size the tick labels as you have noticed.
The solution is to build your own Axis title by using a Text object. To make sure the syntax works correctly, just head over to the Programming tab and change the Substitution Level to 1. If you need to move it around, you’ll find those controls under the Position tab.
Best,
Chao |

Dear Chao,
Well noted!
Please consider implementing an option for the special YL object to stay in the user-specified place all the time.
This would allow user to produce a number of same-sized graphs that could be stacked vertically or horizontally.

Does this odd behaviour make YL text label a special object?

Hello Andrey,
No, the 'YL' name defines it as the Left-Y axis title and that's what makes it special. It is linked to the controls in the axis dialog and has other special properties like moving with the tick labels.
There are also 'YR', 'XB', and 'XT' for Right-Y, X-Bottom, X-Top.
The legend also has the special name 'Legend' which makes it a special object and has special legend specific behaviors and properties.
Best,
Chao |

Well noted.
However, why cannot I manually attach YL to Page via GUI (see above), while it always get attached to Layer and Scales?

Hi Andrey,
It is due to its special status but I have made a request to the developers (ORG-32143) to change this behavior so it can attach to Page.
Best,
