Write a wiki article on padding code

A wiki article could help demystify the plot's padX and padY functions a lot.

X transform is x * (da.Max - da.Min) + da.Min:

l.X * (newMax - newMin) + newMin = da.Min - l.Min.X (we subtract l.Min.X because it's given as a negative value). So, the X location of our left-most glyph will transform it to a location that has room for its left-most edge to lie directly on da.Min.

We also want:

r.X * (newMax - newMin) + newMin = da.Max - (r.Min.X + r.Size.X). This is the same as above, but we are dealing with the right-most edge of the right-most glyph and we want it to end up at da.Max.
