Click For Summary
In gnuplot, users seek a way to create a plot frame that is slightly larger than the specified x and y ranges, similar to the "offset" feature in SAS. While the "set offset" command exists, it has limitations, particularly when used with filledcurves and when dealing with multiple y-axes. Users express the need for a more reliable solution that accommodates various plotting scenarios without the need to restrict function ranges, which can be impractical for multiple plots.

I would like the frame in a gnuplot plot to be slightly larger than the range of x and y.
For those who know e.g. SAS, there it can be specified with "offset" in the axis statement.
Is there something similar in gnuplot?
(Obviously it would be possible to restrict the range of the function to be plotted, but that's not very practical with multiple plots.)

To answer my own question at least partly, I found a "set offset" command. However, it seems to be buggy in combination with filledcurves and does not support different y axes.
