ImagePadding
is an option for graphics functions that specifies what absolute extra padding should be left for extended objects such as thick lines and annotations such as tick and axis labels.
Details
- Settings for ImagePadding are given in printer's points.
- Padding specified by ImagePadding is left inside the region defined by ImageSize, but outside the region defined by PlotRange and PlotRangePadding.
- Possible settings for ImagePadding are:
-
None leave no padding All leave enough padding for all objects that are present m the same padding on all sides {{left,right},{bottom,top}} different padding on different sides - With PlotRangeClipping->True, objects such as thick lines are still clipped at the edge of the plot range region, even if image padding has been specified. Annotations such as tick and axis labels are not clipped in this case.

Leave no padding outside of the plot range:
Graphics[{Thickness[.3], Pink, Circle[]}, ImagePadding -> None, Frame -> True]Leave enough padding for all objects that are present:
Framed[Graphics[{Thickness[.3], Pink, Circle[]}, ImagePadding -> All, Frame -> True], FrameMargins -> 0]Specify the same padding for all sides in printer's points:
Framed[Graphics[{Thickness[.3], Pink, Circle[]}, ImagePadding -> 40, Frame -> True]]Specify different padding on each side:
Framed[Graphics[{Thickness[.2], Pink, Circle[]}, ImagePadding -> {{40, 10}, {20, 5}}, Frame -> True]]Scope (4)
Thick lines and labels outside of the bounding box can be clipped without ImagePadding:
Framed[Graphics3D[{EdgeForm[Directive[Thickness[0.1], Pink]], Cuboid[]}, Axes -> True, AxesLabel -> {x, y, "z-axis"}, ImagePadding -> None], FrameMargins -> 0]Leave enough padding for labels:
Framed[Graphics3D[{EdgeForm[Directive[Thickness[0.1], Pink]], Cuboid[]}, Axes -> True, AxesLabel -> {x, y, "z-axis"}, ImagePadding -> All], FrameMargins -> 0]Specify the same padding for all sides in printer's points:
Framed[Graphics3D[{EdgeForm[Directive[Thickness[0.1], Pink]], Cuboid[]}, Axes -> True, ImagePadding -> 30], FrameMargins -> 0]Specify different padding on different sides:
Framed[Graphics3D[{EdgeForm[Directive[Thickness[0.1], Pink]], Cuboid[]}, Axes -> True, ImagePadding -> {{40, 40}, {10, 10}}], FrameMargins -> 0]Properties & Relations (2)
ImagePadding is defined within ImageSize:
Table[Framed[Graphics[{Pink, Disk[]}, Frame -> True, ImagePadding -> k, ImageSize -> 100, FrameTicks -> {{{-1, 1}, None}, {{-1, 1}, None}}]], {k, {10, 20, 30}}]ImageMargins is defined outside of ImageSize:
Table[Framed[Graphics[{Pink, Disk[]}, Frame -> True, ImageMargins -> k, ImageSize -> 70, FrameTicks -> {{{-1, 1}, None}, {{-1, 1}, None}}]], {k, {10, 20, 30}}]Text
