Frameless Plot

How to create a plot containing only the data area and no axes.

ScottPlot.Plot myPlot = new();

myPlot.Add.Signal(Generate.Sin(51));
myPlot.Add.Signal(Generate.Cos(51));

// make the data area cover the full figure
myPlot.Layout.Frameless();

// set the data area background so we can observe its size
myPlot.DataBackground.Color = Colors.WhiteSmoke;

myPlot.SavePng("demo.png", 400, 300);

Fixed Padding

The plot can be arranged to achieve a fixed amount of padding on each side of the data area

LayoutRecipes.cs

ScottPlot.Plot myPlot = new();

// add sample data to the plot
myPlot.Add.Signal(Generate.Sin(51));
myPlot.Add.Signal(Generate.Cos(51));

// use a fixed amount of of pixel padding on each side
PixelPadding padding = new(100, 50, 100, 50);
myPlot.Layout.Fixed(padding);

// darken the figure background so we can observe its dimensions
myPlot.FigureBackground.Color = Colors.LightBlue;
myPlot.DataBackground.Color = Colors.White;

myPlot.SavePng("demo.png", 400, 300);

Fixed Rectangle

The plot can be arranged so the data is drawn inside a fixed rectangle defined in pixel units

LayoutRecipes.cs

ScottPlot.Plot myPlot = new();

// add sample data to the plot
myPlot.Add.Signal(Generate.Sin(51));
myPlot.Add.Signal(Generate.Cos(51));

// set the data area to render inside a fixed rectangle
PixelSize size = new(300, 200);
Pixel offset = new(50, 50);
PixelRect rect = new(size, offset);
myPlot.Layout.Fixed(rect);

// darken the figure background so we can observe its dimensions
myPlot.FigureBackground.Color = Colors.LightBlue;
myPlot.DataBackground.Color = Colors.White;

myPlot.SavePng("demo.png", 400, 300);
