Then I must not understand the question.
What do you mean by "origin" if not the lower left-hand border of the graph?

Are you saying that you want the point [0,0] to appear in the same place
even though the graphs have different range and scale, and that place is not
on the border of the graph? I can't think of a way to do that.
