ScalePadding

is an option for gauge functions that specifies how much space to leave around the scale.

Details

Padding specified by ScalePadding describes the extent of the gauge background that should be drawn around the scale.
For each direction specified, ScalePadding can take the following values:
Automatic an automatic amount of padding

None leave no padding in that direction

s s coordinate units

Scaled[s] a fraction s of the plot
ScalePadding can take the following forms for linear scaled gauges:

	p	the same horizantal and vertical padding
	{p_r,p_y}	different horizantal and vertical padding
	{{p_{x left},p_{x right}},...}	different padding on each side of the axis etc.

	p	angular padding p on each end of the scale
	{p_min,p_max}	padding p_min before the scale and p_max after
	None	no padding around the scale
	Automatic	automatically determined padding
	Full	pad to the nearest chord of a circle
	All	pad the scale to make a complete circle

Examples

By default there is a set amount of padding around the scale:

Specify a constant horizontal and vertical or angular padding:

Use a scaled value for the constant horizontal and vertical padding:

Specify different horizontal and vertical padding on each side:
