Padding of the max value relative to the length of the axis. A
padding of 0.05 will make a 100px axis 5px longer. This is useful
when you don't want the highest data value to appear on the edge
of the plot area. When the axis' max
option is set or a max extreme
is set using axis.setExtremes()
, the maxPadding will be ignored.
Also the softThreshold
option takes precedence over maxPadding
,
so if the data is tangent to the threshold, maxPadding
may not
apply unless softThreshold
is set to false.
