Hello everyone,

I just configured a XY Chart inside a coordinate container and it works fine with the data it takes from a database.

My problem is that I removed everything non-related to the columns (like axes text, tooltip, legend....) because I only want to show the column of the values, but there are a couple of thing that I can't find a way to remove and I wanted to know if it was possible somehow.

First I'll post a picture of my chart

Here's the list of what I'm trying to do:

- Remove the blank space outside the "value zone", I tried with the padding and it seems to work but after some time a blue button with a "-" in it appears in the upper right corner and that change the padding to the default one

- Now for some reason, during runtime, the chart zoomes in alone and the blue button appears and I don't want it to show

- I also noticed that if I click the button and the zoom goes away, at the next polling of the query, the buttom reappears

The only way i found for the first point is to change the background of the chart to the same of the view so the blank space "disappear".

Looking forward to a response.
