@timhoffm just checking if there is a reason this issue is still open? If you want me to tackle anything happy to help. |

@Bustead the issue is still present. Nothing has been changed since I've opened it. The proposed actions are listed above. |

Note to self: Margins define the extra space we want to have around the data. They are in fraction of the data range. This is similar but not exactly the same as "Axes units". When we have a data range of 1 and margins=0.1. The xrange will be 0.1 + 1 + 0.1 = 1.2; i.e. the left-most data is 0.1*1.2 = 0.12 in axes units away from the border. Possibly a picture would help. |
