Hi,
I have a stacked area chart like below. But, see the white space on the right and left? Is there any way to remove this so that my chart will fill this space? I checked padding and it is 1 on both sides. Thanks for the help.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Unfortunately, spaces near the graph's boundaries cannot be reduced
There is a minimum padding of 0.
If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.
oh thats bad! such a waste of good space! 😞
I agree with you.
Area graphs such as pies, donuts, stacked graphs, and more are indeed "wasteful" in terms of space.
Moreover, they have more issues with data visualization.
As an alternative, consider the use of "Table Graphs".
I am attaching links to two articles on the subject, one of which is mine.
