This is my current bar chart. The X axis looks too big. Can I make it thinner? I tried making the text vertical, but still it is same.

Can anyone please help me on this?

Currently, there isn't an option to adjust the line thickness along the x-axis. Although I wonder if there is more than one line on this x-axis. Could you inspect the x axis line element and see if more than one svg path is drawn there. If you can include a screen shot of the output, that would really help.

Thanks.
