Scatter Plot: Vertical Empty Space WITHIN PLOT AREA at the top/bottom.

[bewithjonam]

Issue:

Given there are X entries to be plotted as a scatter plot
And I have given a height in the layout (X * 20)
When I plot a scatter plot chart
Then there is an empty space at the top & bottom
(empty space increases with the number of entries)

Expected:

Given ....
When I plot a scatter plot chart
Then there is no empty space at the top & bottom

That's the expected behavior at the moment (unfortunately).

This issue is essentially a duplicate of #1775

The main take-home points are:

• we add "padding" about the y-axis range for scatter traces except in a few cases (full logic here)
• that "padding" is computed as 5% of the axis length, meaning the longer the y-axis, the greater the number of pixel of padding within the y-axis range (see logic here)

We are hoping to make our autorange behavior more configurable in the future. You can subscribe to #1876 for the most up-to-date development info.
