I am currently working with an XYChart. I have an issue: when I shrink the XYChart, there appears to be a built-in space where the title would go. Is there any way to shut this off? This appears both in the designer and also when using the template repeater.

Try using a -20 on the bottom padding...that covers up the title. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/1/81ae73475b7f63a8c00984e9d36422ab290312cd.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/9/a97dd5fa3d5fbe27a92c15c8ffee39832e70964c.png) ---

Thank you so much for trying to help! I tried that; however, it did not change anything. I added text to the title to try to match yours more closely. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/5/05ed9554acb8d2290721c16df0c2f2331545c4dc.png) ---

There are other factors in play that affect the way it displays. For example, my XYChart is in a Flex container set to column and the XYChart is set to grow/shrink as needed. Also, as a test, I set all the padding to 0 and as soon as I cleared the title, the chart took up all the space...so you don't need to do -20. This means that it is most likely the container settings that need adjusting. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/2/0206657b3cd06f70941f3d2770536bf5d9fa04cb.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/d/0d02ae2939c7486827deafdbdee913ba1bac00dd.png) ---

Okay, I found the issue. It is the x-axis. I had to change it to be inside. Thanks so much for all your help! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/3/53e178c36baec3a697752ba8866fdf03de826641.png)
