set view map causes title to bleed into graph

Hi, all.  Thanks to those who helped me w/ my 1st round of problems in my attempt to create a gummyworm plot.  You can see the fruits of our labor in the attachment.  However, it seems that 'set view map' doesn't take all 3 lines of my title into account, and I end up w/ part of my title bleeding over into my graph.  (Had I not 'set view map', the title would be a-ok.)

Setting the margins seems to have no positive effect to control the space between the title and the top of the graph.  Is there a margin setting I'm missing, or do I need to lose some of my title?

Many thanks,

Charlton

Sorry.  I didn't know this list didn't like attachments.

with 'set view map' your plot isn't a real 2d plot, it's
a somehow optimized projection of the 3d plot.
so the margin calculations of the 2d plot do not really
apply here.
'set margin' has effects - e.g. you may set all margins
to zero (without clipping the tic labels - in contrast to
the real 2d plot) to enlarge the plot a little bit, but you
can not reserve space for the title with 'set margin'.

but you may shift your title a little bit in y direction:
set title 'title text' offset 0,3

I ended up rescaling my y-axis to essentially free up more white space between the title & the graph.  Perhaps not the most elegant solution, but it's at least effective.
