CorePlot CPTPlotAreaFrame

Question

Trying to change the padding on the graph.plotAreaFrame during the life of the graph

func plotConfigurationViewControllerPadding(_ plotConfigurationViewController: PlotConfigurationViewController, userSelectedPaddingChanged changed: Bool, padding: CGFloat) {
       if changed {
            thisplot.padding = padding
            graph.plotAreaFrame?.paddingTop = thisplot.padding
            graph.plotAreaFrame?.paddingBottom = thisplot.padding
            graph.plotAreaFrame?.paddingLeft = thisplot.padding
            graph.plotAreaFrame?.paddingRight = thisplot.padding
            graph.plotAreaFrame?.plotArea?.updateAxisSetLayers(for: CPTGraphLayerType.majorGridLines)
            graph.plotAreaFrame?.plotArea?.updateAxisSetLayers(for: CPTGraphLayerType.minorGridLines)
            graph.plotAreaFrame?.needsDisplayOnBoundsChange = true

            saveToDatabase()
        }
    }

Code here repositions the plots, but doesn't shift axes, labels, gridlines etc How to I make this work?

Answer 1

You can also set the padding on the graph. This will inset everything from the edges of the graph.

You don't normally need to call updateAxisSetLayers(). Core Plot calls it internally when required.
