	`6`	`+By default, tick labels are aligned towards the axis. This means the set of`
	`7`	`+y tick labels appear right-aligned. Because the alignment reference point`
	`8`	`+is on the axis, left-aligned tick labels would overlap the plotting area.`
	`9`	`+To achieve a good-looking left-alignment, you have to additionally increase`
	`10`	`+the padding.`
