# Padding
Padding values in Chart options can be supplied in couple of different formats.
## Number
If this value is a number, it is applied to all sides (left, top, right, bottom).
For example, defining a 20px padding to all sides of chart:
```javascript
let chart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'line',
data: data,
options: {
layout: {
padding: 20
}
}
});
```
## {top, left, bottom, right} object
If this value is an object, the `left` property defines the left padding. Similarly the `right`, `top` and `bottom` properties can also be specified.
Omitted properties default to `0`.
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
}
}
}
});
```
## {x, y} object
This is a shorthand for defining left/right and top/bottom to the same values.
For example, 10px left / right and 4px top / bottom padding on a Radial Linear Axis [tick backdropPadding](../axes/radial/linear.md#linear-radial-axis-specific-tick-options):
```javascript
let chart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'radar',
data: data,
options: {
scales: {
r: {
ticks: {
backdropPadding: {
x: 10,
y: 4
}
}
}
}
});
```
