Question About Padding Posts

October 2, 2012 at 1:57 pm Question About Padding #8794

Member

I would like to add padding to the descriptions on my chart so that they are not so close to the data values (both x and y axis). For example, on my x-axis I have dates as the data values, and underneath I have the description as “Week”. I would like to give additional padding to “Week” so it is not so close to the dates. I tried using padding, but it didn’t work. Is there code for jqxChart that will add additional padding to the description for both the x and y axis? Thanks.

Hello snowfi6916,

Here is an example that shows how to increase the distance between the axis descriptions and the values:

<body style="background: white;">
    <div id='chartContainer' style="width: 600px; height: 400px" />
