option to set canvas margins missing

[schmitts]

There should be an option to set the canvas margins, e.g. I have long x axis labels (alphanumeric) which get truncated.

Care to take a crack at this? I think the logical place to do it is inside RootRenderer.configure_canvas

The params dictionary is populated with the contents of the URL parameters, i.e, `?margin=..." at the end of the URL.

It seems not possible to just add e.g. ?logy=true to the URL, only the full !render/png/!resolution/100/?logy works. Can we transport parameters to the renderer without explicitly adding the renderer to the URL?

This is a general problem that I'm not sure how to solve consistently at the moment.

The problem is getting the URL parameters from the "view" page containing the HTML through to the plot. It's possible to do both client and server side but I'm not sure how to handle it.

Can we have a couple of input fields close to the "log x", "log y" buttons where margin can be changed by the user?

Those would be found here. At some point all of this needs revisiting.
