How to remove padding around HeatMap chart?

[Federico]

I have a heatmap chart where I'm showing the X axis' labels on top of the chart. In the attached screenshot, you can see that the padding below the chart is bigger than the padding on the sides, how can I remove this extra padding?

Hi Federico,

The Chart may render some empty space around its elements and I am afraid there is no way to remove it.

However, the screenshot shows more empty space at the bottom of the Chart than I am able to produce on my test page. Can you compare the two Chart setups?

Hi Dimo,

thanks for your feedback. There is just one thing from your test page that I'm not sure I understand, regarding the X axis labels positioned above the chart

In my code, I need to explicitly set

<ChartXAxisLabels Position=ChartAxisLabelsPosition.End />

to do that, while in yours it seems to be the result of this parameter:

AxisCrossingValue="@( new object[] { 10 })"

on the Y axis, but I can't see why that is happening. Can you please explain that?

Yes, see this help section - Choose Axis Position

(update: I should probably confirm that your approach is simpler, while AxisCrossingValue can be useful in more complex scenarios with multiple horizontal or vertical axes.)
