My figures are always off-center because the right axis is trimmed closer to the figure than the left. Do I have to manually extend the right axis by an adhoc amount every time?

This doesn't seem to work for standalone document class pgfplots and figure centering
and this is adhoc: Centering a TikZ picture around an area
Excel: 5 seconds but no Tex formatting and wrong fonts.
EDIT
Axis labels are cut off and part of the ytick

, the axis will be centered correctly.Producing nonsense in 5 seconds is not better than making a decent plot in hours :)
