SPACING
Spacing creates a distance to neighboring elements.
If the size type of the element is relative (automatic or percentage), the spacing behaves like a padding. Therefore it affects the visual size of the element. When the size type is absolute (numeric), the spacing behaves like a margin. Hence it affects the visual position of the element.

Elements always affect and complement each other.
If you want no space between two elements, you have to set the spacing to 0 for both of them.
(In this example "spacing bottom" to 0 for the bar chart and "spacing top" to 0 for the pie chart.)
By default the spacing is set to 5.
