Remove White Space Around Chart

TKendrick20 — Mon, 10 Mar 2014 13:48:33 GMT

I have a chart like the one attached. If I try to make it skinnier, the chart gets smaller. I would like to just remove the white space and bring the borders in towards the chart.

CTRL + Shift

You will get red lines to adjust..

That doesn't seem to be very effective. When I try to make the object as a whole smaller, it still makes my chart smaller as well.

What kind of chart is that? I'm having a hard time understanding it it in QV terms. Can you post the QVW?

I'm using a Radar Chart, but I really only need to plot a percentage on one dimension. The Radar Chart just had the style I was looking for. I'm open to suggestions on how to better accomplish this task.

The radar chart, being a circle, wants to occupy a square layout space. You can make make the layout boundaries disappear by making the background fully transparent. On the Color tab, click the Background chip and move the Transparency slider to 100%.

On the Layout tab, set the Layer to "Bottom" so other objects you place in the space don't disappear behind the chart.

Yeah, I've been thinking about doing that. Just when I want to move things around the page it gets really dicey. Just wish I could crop the object as a whole.
