Core Plot grid lines moving past the axis

So, this is an old problem but no longer solvable the old way. I found it here and a few others.

This is a two, part question. First, through lots of searches, I learned that I should make the visible range small and the actual range large to increase the clipping area so the labelling shows. This has a side effect of making the plot area's lines extend out, with the labels. The examples in the folder are outdated, they have orthogonalPosition as an axis property, which no longer exists, but used to be the solution.

(2nd question) Core Plot doesn't have updated documentation, or examples, I've been using guess-and-check for hours at a time, per piece of my graph, while trying to find examples that are up-dated. Is there a resource for this? The wiki just has setup and the api, but the api won't tell you "you need to set the base value for the areaFill to show", yet in contrast, it automatically has defaults for making the ticks show. Ticks vs intervals is easy to figure out, but I had to eventually figure it out, it wasn't documented either.

The orthogonalPosition property is the new version. It was part of the API updates made with the 2.0 release. There is a wiki page with details of the changes. The change log is also online showing the history of the major changes over time.

The current API docs are always available online at https://github.com/core-plot/core-plot.github.io. There are separate pages for the Mac and iOS/tvOS versions to account for differences between AppKit and UIKit. Core Plot includes several example apps that demonstrate many of the important concepts. The Plot Gallery app contains the widest array of features and runs on Mac, iOS, and tvOS. If you notice deficiencies in the API documentation like the areaFill example in the question, please open an issue on the issue tracker.

I'm not aware of any comprehensive high-level documentation that walks through everything in detail. I've considered writing a book about it, but that's a big project and I haven't jumped in yet. For now, Core Plot includes the API docs, the example apps, and several wiki pages. There are also various blog posts online about different topics, but those vary in quality and whether they've been kept up-to-date with newer Core Plot versions.
