Follow-up Comment #9, bug #46651 (project octave):

Yes.  Seeing that makes me remember a little more.  The related comment is
here:

The reason for the emergence of bad title placement has to do with a change in
gnuplot, one that I don't think I totally agreed with.  The issue was
something like gnuplot developers change the sizing so that the plot decreases
the amount of wasted white space, but the title was still placed the same so
it lands on the plot.

On the gnuplot bug-list I suggested two modes: One the gnuplot currently
behaves, keeping the 3D plot the same scale, and another in which the scaling
of the 3d plot changes with rotation to minimize white space (which is the way
that rotation works in qt/fltk toolkits).  Didn't get much traction.

It appears that gnuplot can accept x/y/z coordinates for label placement.  So,
the x- and y-axis labels should be controlable.  In fact, looking at how Qt
toolkit handles the title when changing the various units, it would seem that
more of the options for title placement should work and that
"reinterpretation" of normalized might not have been necessary.  The one
problem with gnuplot is that one can't get the current data coordinates of the
title if, for example, one changes from 'normalized' (title stays stationary
unaffected by rotation angle) to 'data' (title location changes with
rotation).  But that's not too bad of a problem.

I can't look at this right now, but maybe in a week or so.
