<p>Also <code>pad</code> allows for deviations from its default behavior. By default it pads all observations between the first and the last observation, but you can use <code>start_val</code> and <code>end_val</code> to deviate from this. You can also specify a lower interval than the one of the variable, using <code>pad</code> as the inverse of <code>thicken</code>.</p>
