In Observable Plot, is there a way to set the axisY mark to include just one more tick beyond the extent of the domain? For example, I want to use the New York Times style axes, but I want the wider label at the top to be above the data. So instead of this:
I would like it to look like this:
Right now I am pretty much guessing and checking how to update the axis’ domain to get it to add an additional tick, but it would be great if there were a more explicit way of doing it.
How about:
domain: [0, d3.max(data, (d) => d[1]) + 1]
assuming that you defined your data as data.
Try this:
y: { nice: 5 }
The nice option can be specified as a number corresponding to the desired number of ticks. If you specify it as nice: true, it (currently) assumes there are 10 ticks, which isn’t accurate in this case. Using a lower number will use chunkier nicing.
Brilliant! I think using nice will work well for my needs. Thank you both for taking time to respond!
