Hi Oluwaseun -

You can define viewports as you wish. You are not restricted to the ones provided. See the page below for an example, or look in the documentation under DEFINE VIEWPORT.

The standard, simpler method as in the examples linked below, defines viewport limits relative to the plot origin and provides white-space around the plot panels for axis labels and titles. For more control, use DEFINE VIEWPORT/AXES which are in inches relative to the left/bottom corner of the page. That let's you put a viewport right on the edge of the page, or wherever you want.
