4.7: Axis location

If you don't like the default position of axes (at left and bottom), you may get Gri to draw axes anywhere you like, using commands like `draw y axis at right' (so the y axis is at the right-hand end of the x range) or `draw x axis at top' (so the x axis is at the top of the plot); you may even specify an exact location, such as `draw x axis at 22.2'.

Normally, the x axis is placed at the bottom end of the y axis, and the y axis is placed at the left end of the x axis. Some people prefer a style in which the axes are positioned a small offset away from these locations. To get this effect, you may either position the axes yourself, or simply use the `set axes style offset' command (see Set). If you want this axis style for all their plots, put the line `set axes style offset' in your `~/.grirc' startup file (see Resource File).
