All visuals have unusable/wasted white space

When placing a visual on the screen, there is no way to get it to fill the entire space of the container that it is in, there is always white space around it. Being able to either fill that white space, or enter a negative X/Y value to align it to the top of the report page would be a useful. Examples of this would be placement of a logo on the report by getting it closer to the top/edge of a report page.

Agree with this. Also makes it difficult to fit multiple charts in one place. While you can make something look nice by overlapping charts with a blank background color, it messes up the tool tips when you hover over a chart, because you now have 3 or more stacked on top of each other.

Options to adjust the width of a bar chart would fit in here as well. There is too much white space on the reports, with no obvious ways of removing or reducing it.

Another example is when you want to create a single horizontal stacked bar chart. Impossible now with all that wasted space around it.

Would really like to see something to reduce the wasted space. I especially notice this on any Live Page pins.
