122   
123    <p>
124        New in June 2011 is the much requested feature of seperate gutter sizing. As the chart to the right shows, this means
125        that you can now easily set the left/right/top/bottom gutters independently. This makes it easy to give
126        yourself the space that you need for labels, which will be most noticeable with the Bar chart, the Line chart
127        and similar chart types. There is another example on the <a href="../examples/hbar.html#gutter-example">HBar example page</a>.
128    </p>
129   
130    <p>
131        Because of the fundamental nature of this change (every chart type has been affected)
132        you should rigorously test your charts if you choose to upgrade.
133    </p>
134   
135    <p>
136        The new properties are:
137    </p>
138   
139    <ul>
140        <li>chart.gutter.left</li>
141        <li>chart.gutter.right</li>
142        <li>chart.gutter.top</li>
143        <li>chart.gutter.bottom</li>
144    </ul>
145   
146    <p>
147         They all default to 25 pixels (with a few exceptions) and each can be set independently.
148    </p>
149   
150    <p>
151        These new properties eliminate the need for certain others. So starting immediately the following properties are no longer
152        used:
153    </p>
154   
155    <ul>
156        <li>chart.gutter</li>
157        <li>chart.width</li>
158        <li>chart.height</li>
159        <li>chart.tooltips.coords.adjust</li>
160        <li>chart.resize.handle.adjust</li>
161    </ul>
162   
163    <p>
164        The <i>chart.gutter</i> property has been completely removed, so you will need to start using the new properties immediately.
165        The <i>chart.width</i> and <i>chart.height</i> properties are completely unused from this point and the last two
166        will be phased out starting immediately.
167    </p>

198    <h2>Upgrading from a previous version of RGraph</h2>
199   
200    <p>
201        If you're upgrading from a previous version of RGraph then there are a few points you should bear in mind:
202    </p>
203   
204    <ol>
205        <li>
206            Remove any calls to .translate().
207            If you use the .translate() method to give yourself extra space, this should be converted to the new gutter properties.
208        </li>
209       
210        <li>
211            If you use <i>chart.tooltips.coords.adjust</i> or <i>chart.resize.handle.adjust</i> then you should remove them. These
212            properties will cease to have any effect eventually, but not immediately.
213        </li>
214       
215        <li>
216            If you use caching, then you may need to use a CTRL/SHIFT+Refresh on your page to bypass any cached copy of the RGraph
217            libraries.
218        </li>
219    </ol>
