# 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` | `Number` or `Object` | `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
}
}
}
});
```
