I’m looking for functionality similar to `subplot_grid` in Gadfly.jl ([Geom.subplot\_grid · Gadfly.jl](http://gadflyjl.org/v0.5/lib/geoms/geom_subplot_grid.html)), where grids of subplots can be given broader x/y labels.

I would use Gadfly but all my other visualization is already using Plots.jl

Thanks!

Answering my own question in case anyone else wants shared x-labels or shared y-labels for subplot grids.

I used the `@layout` workaround described [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/super-title-in-plots-and-subplots/29865) to create super-titles.

Like this

```julia
    l = @layout [
          a{0.01h}; 
          b{0.01w} grid(3,3);
          c{0.01h}        
    ]

```
