ImagePadding

✖
`ImagePadding`

✖

is an option for graphics functions that specifies what absolute extra padding should be left for extended objects such as thick lines and annotations such as tick and axis labels.

Details

Settings for ImagePadding are given in printer's points.
Padding specified by ImagePadding is left inside the region defined by ImageSize, but outside the region defined by PlotRange and PlotRangePadding.
Possible settings for ImagePadding are:

	None	leave no padding
	All	leave enough padding for all objects that are present
	m	the same padding on all sides
	{{left,right},{bottom,top}}	different padding on different sides

With PlotRangeClipping->True, objects such as thick lines are still clipped at the edge of the plot range region, even if image padding has been specified. Annotations such as tick and axis labels are not clipped in this case.
