SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on adjusting the border size in gnuplot plots to exceed the defined x and y ranges. Users seek a method similar to SAS's "offset" in the axis statement. The "set offset" command in gnuplot was identified as a potential solution, but it has limitations, particularly with filledcurves and when using multiple y-axes. This indicates a need for further exploration of gnuplot's capabilities to achieve desired plot aesthetics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with gnuplot commands and syntax
  • Understanding of plotting concepts, particularly axis manipulation
  • Knowledge of filledcurves in gnuplot
  • Experience with multi-axis plotting in gnuplot
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the "set offset" command in gnuplot for border adjustments
  • Explore workarounds for using filledcurves with "set offset"
  • Investigate multi-axis plotting techniques in gnuplot
  • Learn about alternative gnuplot commands for customizing plot aesthetics
USEFUL FOR

Gnuplot users, data visualizers, and anyone looking to enhance their plotting techniques with specific border adjustments and multi-axis configurations.

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.
