#535 range extension options
gnuplot by default extends the ranges to the next tic position.
It'd be useful if the extension could alternatively be defined as "by x" or "by n percent" of the whole range".
And/or, and possibly a simple addition: automatically increase the xrange with boxes, boxplot, candlesticks etc, by the width of the boxes.
I think you are correct that candlestick plots do not auto-extend.
But It is already supposed to do that for "with boxplots" and for "with boxes" when the boxwidth is a known constant.
As for extending based on the range, that's what "set offset" is for.
Can you attach some test cases where it isn't working?
Oh, I hadn't checked boxplots and boxes in fact. Just candlesticks.
And I also didn't know about "set offset". I was expecting to find the functionality under "set xtics". Does what it's supposed to, thanks! Only the name is a bit weird, that's not really an offset, is it?
Perhaps a reference to "set offsets" in the help on "set xtics" and "set autoscale" would be good.
good idea.
