+## Description
+
+Reducing the space around the RadChartView to make the chart appear larger is a common requirement. 
+
+## Solution
+
+To reduce the space around the `RadChartView`, adjust the margin of the view. Set the margin using the `Padding` class to specify the amount of space you want around your chart. Here's how you can achieve this:
+
+````C#
+radChartView1.View.Margin = new Padding(2, 2, 2, 2);
+````
+
+This code sets the margin to 2 pixels on all sides (left, top, right, bottom), making the chart area larger by reducing the unused space around it.
