Is it possible to set the size of a figure with labels?

I would like to set the size of the whole figure and not the axes. Moreover, I dont want any margin, so for example x-label text lower bottom has to be touched to the bottom of the defined area!

Set the axes OuterPosition and Position to the size of the figure. Set the axes visibility off. Draw or text() any axes lines or labels or titles that you want so that you have control over exactly where they go.

On one hand you talk about setting the figure size, but on the other hand setting the X-label depends on the size of the axes object. Therefore I assume, something is confused here.

You can simply play with the settings. Set the OuterPosition and Position of the figure and the of the axes and examine the effects. You will see directly on your screen what happens.
