Remove white space around chart

Hi, I have a stacked bar with a lot of white space around it.

I have tried removing/reducing the space with no luck. I found different solutions in the forum with no desired result.

 

The methods I tried are:

  • Change of padding - no good as the title of the chart gets too Cclose to the edge.
  • Change of background - no desired effect
  • Removing x-values - done
  • Removing y-values - not desired effect, Y-values are needed.

Please help.

Hi @Orongo ,

 

Overall there is always some space in between in the visual so that all the elements are not on top of each other. 

 

Top part: Check if you have the subtitle turned on or the configuration on the divider

Axis: set a maximum and a minimum

 

Has you can see the distance at the left and rigth is now small but I have setup the minimum and maximum value

If I do automatic it returns this:

For you case believe that the way the calculation is done is pushing the rigth side away from 0 if you setup the maximum to 0 it will get closer to the Y-axis.

 

Just some options that can work
