# padding

(ledger E2 / E7) — the value-domain padding fraction of the Pro cartesian families (box plot, bubble, candlestick / OHLC, density map, error bar, waterfall: each wrapper defaults to 0.05). Left unset, the wrapper's own default applies; the Community cartesian families size their domains through their axis inputs instead.
