Hi-

I'm trying to use the screen based axis scales (see Test42 in
the visad examples) and have run into a couple of things
that are problematic in their use.

- the YAxis gets put too far off to the left that my
label gets cut off the screen when my tick labels are
4 or more chars (e.g. 1000).  This is similar to the
issue described at:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/getfile?file=/content/support/help/MailArchives/visad-list/msg03913.html

but that fix is in the distribution, but did not
completely fix the problem.

- ideally, I'd like the scales to be snapped to the
box's original position such the corner of the two scales'
intersection lines up with the box's lower left corner (
when snapToBox is true).

- lastly, I'd like to have my clipping happen at the
axis scale position, not the bounds of the box.

Any thoughts on how to overcome these issues?

Don
