PlotRangePadding
is an option for graphics functions that specifies how much further axes etc. should extend beyond the range of coordinates specified byPlotRange.
Details

- PlotRangePadding can be used for both two- and three-dimensional graphics.
- The settings can be of the following forms:
p the same padding in all directions {px,py,…} different padding in different directions {{pxL,pxR},…} different padding on left and right, etc. - For each direction the following forms can be used:
Automatic an automatic amount of padding s s coordinate units Scaled[s] a fractions of the plot None no padding - IfPlotRange includes all points in a plot, thenPlotRangePadding->Scaled[s] yields a plot that covers a fraction1-2s of the whole plotting area.
- PlotRangePadding->Automatic adds a total of 4% forPlotRange settingsAll,Full, andAutomatic. For explicit settings, it adds no padding.
- Any padding specified byImagePadding is added outside padding specified byPlotRangePadding.
