Question

I’ve just started using JqPlot and want to display a small chart

However there is always a small margin at the top and to the left.

Looking at the css produced the jqplot-event-canvas is given absolute position with top and left set at 10px.

Is there a simple way to solve this so that the pie is positioned without the extra spacing?

I’ve tried to set the padding to 0 in the grid and pie rendererOptions.
Also set show:false on the axes, title, ledgend …,
Any ideas?

Answer 1

Try setting the gridPadding like this:

var plot1 = $.jqplot('pie1', [data], {
    gridPadding: {top:0, bottom:0, left:0, right:0},
....

Because by default, each plot has the following grid padding:

{top:10, right:10, bottom:23, left:10};

I think this might explain the issue you are seeing.
