Expand matplotlib plot in a python visual

Hi All,

I am new to Power BI desktop. My questions are: a) How do I expand the plot (vertically) in the python visual, so it fills up the white spaces on the top and at the bottom of the visual? And b) how to move the header title down abit (away from the top border)?

(plese see a screen shot)

Thank you,

Davis,

Hi @mtt09mtt I'm not working with Phyton visuals, but on a regular, you can change white spaces with "padding" options, try to check if you have them :

Space between the graph and title is unflexible, I don't like it to so using text textbox/card visuals and just grouping it with the graphs:

Hey Ritaf1983,
Thanks for the help. Applied padding - it worked for the title! (so the heading title is flexible in term of the position). Still struggling with the space from plot to the heading title.pyvisual.PNG
