Example

This is an example of pane using padding set to 0.

<pane sid="PANE1">
         <xforms:group>
            <xforms:label></xforms:label>
         </xforms:group>
         <itemlocation>
            <x>10</x>
            <y>10</y>
         </itemlocation>
         <padding>0</padding>
      </pane>

Usage details

The default value is 3.
If the pane item has a label (XFDL or XForms generated) or a border then the padding option is ignored and the default is used.
1 pixel is applied to the inside of the pane matching the backgroundColor of the pane. 2 pixels beyond that are used as placeholders for the border when it is turned on and off. If there is no border than these 2 pixels are transparent.
Does not affect white space around items inside the Pane item. If you need to reduce the white space of items in a table, use the rowpadding option.
