PlotRegion

PlotRegion
is an option for graphics functions that specifies what region of the final display area a plot should fill.
  • PlotRegion->{{sxmin, sxmax}, {symin, symax}} specifies the region in scaled coordinates that the plot should fill in the final display area.
  • The scaled coordinates run from 0 to 1 in each direction.
  • The default setting PlotRegion->{{0, 1}, {0, 1}} specifies that the plot should fill the whole display area.
  • When the plot does not fill the whole display area, the remainder of the area is rendered according to the setting for the option Background.

In[2]:=
Click for copyable input
Out[2]=
 
Limit the contents of the graphic to the middle half of the region in each direction:
In[1]:=
Click for copyable input
Out[1]=
In[2]:=
Click for copyable input
Out[2]=
 
ImagePadding can also be used to add padding around a graphic:
In[1]:=
