@pindex Location
@findex plot size, how to change

   Set the physical location of the plot. The plot region is the rectangle
inside the box drawn by BOX. Vectors and points are
truncated at the bounds of the plot region. LOCATION specifies (in device
coordinates) where the plot region is located. LOCATION can be used to make
an arbitrary size and shape plot, providing that you want it rectangular.

Because all devices have the same coordinate system in SM
(0-32767), this command is considerably more useful than it used to
be. The default LOCATION is 3500 31000 3500 31000. You can get at the
current values of @code{GX1} etc. using the DEFINE | command.
@findex internal variables, gx1, gx2, gy1, gy2

While you are using WINDOW (@pxref{Window}), LOCATION commands have no effect.
SM remembers them, however, and obeys the most recent one when you are
finished with WINDOW.

See the RELOCATE @code{( x y )} command to draw labels outside the plot region,
and DRAW @code{( x y )} to draw lines there.

If you want to increase the x-location by 500 (say), you can say:
@example
        LOCATION $($gx1 + 500) $gx2 $gy1 $gy2
@end example
@noindent
This is sometimes useful to make room for an axis label; if your verbosity
is 1 or higher you'll be advised of the appropriate displacement.
