[BUG] Space between ticks and axis becomes too large in big plots

[jamblejoe]

Details

In this figure below created by

plot([plot([1,2,3]) for _ in 1:10]...; layout=(1,10), size=(5000,300))

the space between the axis ticks and the actual axis is too large. I have not found a workaround yet.

A workaround is to plot each subplot individually, render in an IOStream and then load again the in an aggregating plot(...), i.e.

n = 10
io_buffers = [IOBuffer() for _ in 1:n]
for i in 1:n
    plot([1,2,3])
    png(io_buffers[i])
end
plot((plot(load(io)) for io in io_buffers)...;
    axis=nothing,
    border=:none,
    layout=(1,10),
    size=(500*10,300),
)
