If you want ot add margins, should append graphics container in svgcss
var svg = d3.select('#chartArea').append('svg') .attr('width', w + margin.left + margin.right) .attr('height', h + margin.top + margin.bottom) .append('g') //The last step is to add a G element which is a graphics container in SBG. .attr('transform', 'translate(' + margin.left + ', ' + margin.top + ')'); //Then offset that graphic element by our left and top margins.
Define the margin:html
var dataset = _.map(_.range(30), function(num) { return Math.random() * 50; }), //reandom generate 15 data from 1 to 50 margin = {top: 10, bottom: 10, left: 10, right: 10}, w = 400 - margin.left - margin.right, h = 300 -margin.top - margin.bottom;
