Thank you! I needed more space for horizontal labels in a horizontal bar chart, and all I could find were instructions on how to make a second line for text. By making the plot area narrower I can get a wider label area

Thank you for you video. How would you center the Plot area inside a chart area precisely? I am attempting to overlap three different charts, Body Fat%, Muscle Mass and Skeletal Mass and how they relate to one another. All was working until I moved one of the plat areas and realized it was a different size than the other two. I attempted to use the align button, but that is just lining up the three charts and not the plot areas inside. Thank you!
