I am trying to generate a figure of some genomic data. Basically, I want to show how many times a certain event happens within each one megabase window of each chromosome. The X axis is the chromosomal position (unit is megabases) and the Y axis is chromosome number (1-19, X, Y, M in mouse). For each chromosome, I want a subplot on which I will draw a bar graph. So basically, there will be 22 subplots, each with their own axes, and also X and Y axes for the entire figure.
I know how to do subplots, I just don't know how to get the overall figure axes. Can anyone help?
I will try to sketch out below with some ascii art what I want in case this description isn't clear.

Spines should do what you are seeking after. Check the example:
