ipadx and ipady

Each component has a minimum width and a minimum height, smaller than which it will not be. If the component's minimum size is smaller than the component's display area, then only part of the component will be shown.

The ipadx and ipady fields let you increase this minimum size by padding the edges of the component with extra pixels. For instance setting ipadx to two will guarantee that the component is at least four pixels wider than its normal minimum. (ipadx adds two pixels to each side.) This is not needed for the Calculator applet.
