We would like to be able adjust the space between subplots to prevent the problem of overlapping scales.

The suggested workaround has been to flip scales between left and right sides of subplots, but a lot of our trends have scales on both sides…

+1. I am dealing with this now and it looks pretty crappy.

Hi all,

Sorry for writing in an old thread but is there a way to change the subplot gap in a standard Chart component? Thanks!

Put this in the configureChart extension function :

```auto
chart.getPlot().setGap(100)

```
