To adjust the size of the artboard, simply input the desired dimensions and click outside the input field.

The artboard in Datylon Report Studio serves as the designated area for placing charts. Each template or design includes one artboard.

The anchor point of the artboard is located at the top-left corner. Therefore, when expanding the size of the artboard, it will extend to the right and bottom. Conversely, reducing the size will cause it to shrink towards the left and top.

Resizing and repositioning charts

You can resize and move charts inside the artboard. 

The X and Y properties of the chart directly correspond to the position of its top-left corner. When resizing the chart, the adjustments are made relative to the top-left corner, similar to the resizing rules for the artboard.
