I've just realized that "tightinset" is only readable from the

that the interaction of position/outerpostion/tightinset and their

(that I
can find).
For the gnuplot backend it would be easy enough to handle such
relationships
using m-files, but as this interaction is (and many others are) not
specific to the backend implementation, where should this
functionality go?
For the moment, I have a m-file that calculates the tightinset.
While I can
optionally use that script when get(hax,"tightinset") returns
zeros, such an
implementation is not exactly pretty.
I''d think it preferable that a backend agnostic solution for such
things be
written (another example is the relationship between papertype,
papersize,
and paperposition).
In any event, what should be done, and is anyone with the needed
skills
interested?
I am interested, but I'm missing time to do it. I just started my
new job
and it'll be *very* time-consuming. Sorry.
