Confused about the Offset option

[NathanBaulch]

I'm a bit confused about the meaning of the Offset option.

for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
	println("offset", i, ":", Plot([]float64{0}, Offset(i)))
}

offset 0 :  0.00 ┼
offset 1 : ┼
offset 2 :  0.00┼
offset 3 :  0.00 ┼
offset 4 :  0.00  ┼
offset 5 :  0.00   ┼
offset 6 :   0.00   ┼
offset 7 :    0.00   ┼
offset 8 :     0.00   ┼
offset 9 :      0.00   ┼

This is pretty odd behavior that raises a few questions. Is the purpose of this option to add space before or after the y-axis label? It seems to do a bit of both in an inconsistent way.

Bump!

Hi @NathanBaulch, good catch! I would personally like offset to be space before the y-axis label, maybe we could have another parameter so that we could handle both. I checked this thing with the python version, there is also the same behaviour, @kroitor could you also please share your opinion on this (is this expected?).
