Hi Ben,

ok, I had semi success ;-)

The positions of the "subplots" are fine, so the x-labels and the titles are
not overlapping. But I still have trouble with the y-labels. When I have a
tiny scaling on the y-axis (like [0.02 0.04…]) the y-label overlaps with the
scaling. I tried to set the location of the y-axis to the right, but the
label moves with the axis. When I re-scale the x-axis and set the y-axis to
"zero" the y-label stays on the left side, but still overlaps with the
x-scale (see picture).

How can I handle this? And I still have the problem, that I can't switch off
the box, what would improve the appearance of my plot. 
And is it possible to set the locations of the y-axis and the y-label
independent from each other?

Thanks
