TitleGap - Vertical spacing for a Plot title

Description:
This attribute controls the appearance of an annotated coordinate grid (drawn with the AST_GRID routine) by determining where the title of a Plot is drawn.

Its value gives the spacing between the bottom edge of the title and the top edge of a bounding box containing all the other parts of the annotated grid. Positive values cause the title to be drawn outside the box, while negative values cause it to be drawn inside.

The TitleGap value should be given as a fraction of the minimum dimension of the plotting area, the default value being $+$0.05.

Type:
Floating point.
Class Applicability:
Plot
All Plots have this attribute.
Plot3D
The Plot3D class ignores this attributes since it does not draw a Title.
Notes:
  • The text used for the title is obtained from the Plot's Title attribute.
