Feature request: automatically handle vertical whitespace

[Midnighter]

I'm opening another issue in order to keep the request for (semi-automatically) handling vertical whitespace. This was basically reported in #40 and #49 but both of those are closed now while the feature doesn't really exist. Only manual workarounds. In my particular case I have four plots in one column and four rows with only the last plot having horizontal axis tick labels. So the whitespace between the other plots is very pronounced.

I will play around with the margins manually but I think this feature would be a great addition!

in my case I want to add labels to plots with axis lables but no ticks or tick labels.

the y axis label is long enough to intersect with the plot label.
