3) making sure that the top label disappears when you suppress it, currently it seems it only gets moved down to the area inside the axes!<br>> OK. It should still appear in shared axis boxes though. </blockquote>
</div><div>I don't think shared axis boxes change anything there. To the contrary, I find a top label looks even more awkward there. I'd apply the same logics: left labels + a common bottom label as long as the left labels have enough room, and then legends<br>
