#1232 — passing an axis range parameter to set label position

I'd like to use the max value of yrange, Y, defined by my data set to calculate the label position in the expression 'set label 1 sprintf("b = %3.3f", b) at x,Y'.  Is there a way to pass the max(y) value to Y?

If it's not easily done, can I define the label position as a relative position in the plot window, such as 10% of the total height and 80% of the total width?

  stats "dataset" using 2
  set label 1 at x, STATS_max
  plot "dataset" using 1:2
