Mathematica - Set zero offset for Frame origin?

In summary, setting a zero offset for the frame origin in Mathematica allows you to control the position of the origin point in a plot or graph. This can be useful for creating a more visually appealing or accurate representation of your data. To set a zero offset, use the FrameMargins option in the Frame or FrameLabel functions. This can be adjusted after creating the plot using the PlotRangePadding option. The position of data points in the plot will not be affected by setting a zero offset. Other options for adjusting the frame origin include using ImagePadding and PlotRangePadding.

I have a Plot using Frame, and AxesOrigin set to a convenient value.

The plot process offsets the physical origin of the Frame so that the specified AxesOrigin is just inside the Frame border - ie there is an offset introduced for both axes. Is there a way to tell Mathematica not to set any offset, but to plot the Frame origin where the AxesOrigin says to?

Alas it appears FrameMargins only applies to 'Framed', not Frame for a plot.
 

1. What is the purpose of setting a zero offset for the frame origin in Mathematica?

Setting a zero offset for the frame origin in Mathematica allows you to control the position of the origin point in a plot or graph. This can be useful for creating a more visually appealing or accurate representation of your data.

2. How do I set a zero offset for the frame origin in Mathematica?

To set a zero offset for the frame origin in Mathematica, you can use the FrameMargins option in the Frame or FrameLabel functions. For example, you can use FrameMargins -> {{left, right}, {bottom, top}} to specify the amount of offset on each side of the frame.

3. Can I adjust the zero offset for the frame origin after creating a plot or graph in Mathematica?

Yes, you can adjust the zero offset for the frame origin after creating a plot or graph in Mathematica by modifying the FrameMargins option. You can also use the PlotRangePadding option to adjust the spacing between the plot points and the frame.

4. Will setting a zero offset for the frame origin affect the position of my data points in the plot?

No, setting a zero offset for the frame origin in Mathematica will not affect the position of your data points in the plot. It only changes the position of the frame and axis labels.

5. Are there any other options for adjusting the frame origin in Mathematica?

Yes, besides using FrameMargins, you can also use the ImagePadding option to adjust the spacing between the plot area and the image frame. Additionally, you can use the PlotRangePadding option to control the size of the plot area within the frame.
