Indeed, I see that the docstring doesn't mention it, although the code does it quite explicitly (i.e. not by accident).

I'm not very knowledgeable about images, to be honest. If that doesn't offer any useful options, you should be able to "similate" a bottom margin by putting a `face` property on the "\n" string with an appropriate `:height`, something like (overlay-put ol 'affer-string (propertize "\n" 'face '(:height 2.5))) - Stefan
