You seem to be missing the -ycommon- option of -graph combine- and
-plotregion(margin())-.

Under axis_label_options in the V9 graphics manual, the option
x/ylabel(,nolabels) is described with the challenge, "Why anyone would
want to do this is difficult to imagine."
I've made an array of line plots, each pane demonstrating that a
measurement varied very little over time. A nominal +/- 10% of mean
line is drawn around each line plot, and the panes are stacked as a
column with common time axis. Removing chart junk therefore involves
removing all but the bottom xaxis line and labels (the line being close
to each -10% reference line) but I did want to repeat the ticks to aid
time-referencing.
Here's the commands, simplified, for the last couple of panes:
scatter y1 time, c(l) ti("Deviations from mean percentage measurement")
yti("%", orientation(horizontal))
t2(lines at +/- 10% of mean)
xti("") xscale(range(0 25) noline) xlab(0(4)24, nolabel)
yli(0 +.28 -.28, lcol(gs4)) ylab(-.2 0 "0" .2 .28, angle(0)
format(%3.2f) labsize(*1.2) ) yscale(range(+.28 -.28))
scheme(s1mono) plotregion(style(none)) name(g1,replace);
scatter y2 time, c(L) yti(" ")
xti("") xscale(range(0 25) noline) xlab(0(4)24, nolabel)
yli(0 +10 -10, lcol(gs4)) ylab(-4 0 "0" 4 10 ,angle(0) format(%3.2f)
labsize(*1.2) ) yscale(range(+10 -10))
scheme(s1mono) plotregion(style(none)) name(g2,replace);
...
scatter yn time, c(L) yti(" ")
xti("Hours") xlab(0(4)24)
yli(0 +2 -2, lcol(gs4)) ylab(-1 0 "0" 1 2,angle(0) format(%3.2f)
labsize(*1.2) ) yscale(range(+2 -2))
scheme(s1mono) plotregion(style(none)) name(gn,replace);
* then to assemble trellis;
graph combine g1 g2 ... gn, col(1) xsize(2) ysize(6) imargin(zero)
scheme(s1mono);
--------------------------
Making the Y axes line up exactly was hard; I'm not sure if it's
achieved but it looks near. Formally, I'd like the ytitle to extend left
from its start rather than right.
Something I haven't achieved is to put the ticks on the 0 line of each
plot rather than outside the plot area. Any ideas?
