plot axes padding

[erflot]

Some extra space at the ends of scatterplot axes to avoid markers sitting on the plot border can be done by computing x-min, x-max, y-min, y-max from data, with some padding added.
Using set-style(axes: (padding: 12pt)) does quite the same, but grid and plot border do not follow the move of axes.
Is there a another setting?

There is no setting to achieve that as of now. Would something like x-max-offset: <...> to add a value to an axis min/max value work?

[erflot]

Actually set-style(axes: (padding: ...)) already provides the right padding for all axes at once, but it looks a bit weird with the gaps between axes and plot area. A global setting could be a shortcut to separate offsets for each end of each axis.

Can you give an example for the weird looking gaps please?

[erflot]

Sorry for forgetting the demo.
The first plot shows marks sitting on the axes, the second one is the same plot with set-style(axes: (padding: 12pt)).
Thanks for looking into it.

Thank you for your example. This is actually the expected behaviour of the padding: key. I will look into changing it to outset: and make padding: like the padding you expect.

Note that the next version of cetz' plotting lib is developed in this https://github.com/cetz-package/cetz-plot repository.

Thanks for your info. I have questions for box-whisker plots:

• y-grid and y-ticks are not shown, if y-tick-step is not set

setting the y-tick-step explicitly helps,
but

• options mark and mark-size for outliers are not used
• label does not trigger the legend like for x-y-scatterplot
• how to set the x-axis to categorical, i.e. showing "A" and "B" at positions 1 and 2

The attached box-whisker.zip has sample.typ and sample.pdf inside.
