Adding padding around the chart
You can change the spacing around and within the chart using inset settings. To add more space, use a higher inset setting. For example,
Figure 17‑48 shows the effect of using two different chart top inset settings.
Figure 17‑48 Charts using different inset settings
By default, inset values appear in points. To specify different units, such as pixels, inches, or centimeters, use Property Editor, as shown in
Figure 17‑49 to select the chart unit. The unit that you choose applies to chart settings, such as insets, or the width of series in three-dimensional charts and charts with depth.
Figure 17‑49 Changing units of measurement for the chart
To increase or decrease the number of units between chart elements, navigate to the Chart Area section of Format Chart, then choose General Properties and change the number of units, as shown in
Figure 17‑50.
