I'm trying to insert a ragged line on a plot axis by using an inset. However, I always get white space around the inset such that my axis is broken at some point. What can I do to remove the white space?

Plot[x, {x, 0, 1}, ImageSize -> 300, 
Epilog -> {{Inset[
 Style[
  Graphics[
   {Thickness[0.02],
    Line[{{-0.1,0},{0,0},{0.2,0.2},{0.6,-0.2},{1,0.2},{1.2,0},{1.3,0}}]}, 
  ImageSize -> 15], 
  Background -> White],
  {0.5, 0}]}},
  ImagePadding -> 15,PlotRangeClipping -> False]

enter image description here

  • $\begingroup$ Is there a specific reason why you use this whole Inset[Style[Graphics[Line[...] ...]]] and not just give the graphics directive directly in Epilog, like Epilog -> {White, Rectangle[{0.475, -.1}, {.525, .1}], Black, Thickness[0.002], Line[...]}? $\endgroup$

Just add PlotRangePadding -> 0, ImagePadding -> 0 to the inner Graphics object.
