I would like to get rid of the surrounding white margin in the following Makie Plot.

Any Idea ?

```julia
using GLMakie

nx,ny = 500,500

fig = Figure(resolution = (nx, ny), fontsize = 22)
ax = Axis(fig[1, 1]; aspect = DataAspect())
x = LinRange(-1,1,100)
lines!(ax,x,x)
hidedecorations!(ax)
tightlimits!(ax)
resize_to_layout!(fig)
GLMakie.save(joinpath("toto.png"),fig)
fig

```

That’s done with the `figure_padding` attribute [Figures · Makie](https://docs.makie.org/stable/documentation/figure/#figure_padding)

Perfect !  
Thank you very much.

I did not see the “button to edit” the documentation but the word “margin” may be included in the text

> You can change the amount of whitespace around the figure…

As

> You can change the amount of whitespace around the figure (margin)…

In order to help a search in the search engine (I did not think to search for “padding”)

Anyway thank you again !
