Hi'yall!  I have 2+ graphs that I would like to compare over the same time period.  I am generating them with the graphing API URL and displaying them full screen width, but tiled vertically. The image size for all graphs is the same, but because the width and number of Y-axis varies from graph to graph this leaves the actual graph rendering canvas with differing sizes, and although the from/until range and external dimensions of all graphs are the same, the difference is internal canvas width of course means that specific points in time don't necessarily line up between graphs.

I know I can hide the axis and legend, but this still leaves different sized white space (although much reduced to account for the hidden axis) around the actual graph canvas within the image. Even with the margin parameter set to 0 or a constant, I seem to get a inconsistent amount of whit space around the actual internal canvas, depending on what metrics I display!

Is there a way to either:
* Specify the size and position of the internal graph canvas.
* Specify the TOTAL size of the left and right margin (essentially dictating the size of the internal graph canvas)
* Have more control over the layout of elements in the image.
* Or any other ideas how I can achieve a consistent layout between different graphs.

I'm afraid I cant compose all the data into a single graph as I would need 3 or more Y-axis to keep the scale and units for the many varying metrics in use, some graphs are already a bit busy and it would get a bit messy! 

Thanks in advance :)
