								# Layout Configuration
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The layout configuration is passed into the `options.layout` namespace. The global options for the chart layout is defined in `Chart.defaults.global.layout`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| Name | Type | Default | Description
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| ---- | ---- | ------- | -----------
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| `padding` | <code>number|object</code> | `0` | The padding to add inside the chart. [more...](#padding)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Padding
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								If this value is a number, it is applied to all sides of the chart (left, top, right, bottom). If this value is an object, the `left` property defines the left padding. Similarly the `right`, `top` and `bottom` properties can also be specified.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Lets say you wanted to add 50px of padding to the left side of the chart canvas, you would do:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```javascript
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								let chart = new Chart(ctx, {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    type: 'line',
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    data: data,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    options: {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        layout: {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								            padding: {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								                left: 50,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								                right: 0,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								                top: 0,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								                bottom: 0
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								            }
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        }
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    }
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								});
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
