#22 Option to place graph axis labels outside graph

[Steve Keen]

This is just a "make it look sexier" option. Currently the axis marker labels overwrite the data. Have an option to put the axis marker labels outside the chart.

Yes, not a major one in any case; this was more aesthetics than an urgent
matter. Plots will be fine as they are for next Thursday.
Best, Steve

I think I've explained the difficulties here. The graph is placed within a
rectangle, and clipped to that rectangle. Anything written outside would be
invisible. One option would be to calculate an appropriate margin width,
then draw a second bounding box inside the first, put the graph in that,
then write the labels and ticks in the margin. It would be quite a lot of
work, and I'm sceptical of the aesthetics since that space is already
occupied by port markers.
