Move chart and labels within area

I would like to move the chart and appropriate labels within the area...

Is that possible...?

I attached an image to show the problem.

Thx

Go to the "Plot" section of the chart editor and click on the "Area Format" button. Then, change the left inset of the area within the axes to a negative value that moves your plot closer to the axis. Hope this helps.

Thanks, but this isn't helping.

This option moves or scales the axes and has no affect on the chart position.

Does it really make sense to scale or move axes? I think no. What is the use for that?
It would be much more better to move the chart using that or a flag, that indicates the left alignment...

have you looked in the DevShare for example <a class='bbc_url' href='https://www.birt-exchange.org/org/devshare/designing-birt-reports/1313-build-professional-looking-charts-with-b/'>BIRT Chart Da Vinci</a>Unlocks some more options its a java script library that wraps around the Chart Api giving you a few more options in comparacain of others. I know for example you can move the chart aria.

Thanks, but it gives no solution for the problem and produces the same faults using the BIRT designer. 
 
As you can see in the image below, the design of the chart crashes completly using Chart Da Vinci. 
 
1. Missing Y-axis title 
2. Space between Y-axis and chart area 
3. Right X-axis label is cut 
 
Image settings: 
1. image: s2[202] = "0,0,0,0"; 
2. image: s2[202] = "0,0,-25,-26"; 
 
 
I think thats not a desired behavior of the chart design.

If using isCategoryAxis for your x-axis, this simply moves the plot over with no problem (at least in the example that I tested it on). I see the issue shifting the plot if isCategoryAxis is not checked. In this case, if you set the scale of your axis in script, you might be able to use the same plot shifting to move the plot closer to the axis. Or maybe I'm not seeing the same issue you're talking about.
