Add more margin space to the top, bottom, left, and right edges of the gt table

[ahbon123]

Hello,

I used the code below to plot and save a gt table. Now I am facing a problem that the top, bottom, left and right edges of the table are too compact (the space is too small).

library(gt)
p <- mtcars %>% 
  select(cyl:wt) %>% 
  head() %>% 
  gt()

gtsave(p, file='test.png', vwidth=1000, vheight=600, zoom=1)

Out:

Thus I want to add more margin space (increase the area between the two blue boxes as figure above shows) to the four edges of the table.

How can I achieve this? Maybe I'm missing some parameters, but I didn't find the right ones in tab_options(). Thanks.

Thanks for adding this issue! There needs to be some padding options for the outer div. Likely, these options will be added to tab_options().

Thanks, but I'm currently facing a rather urgent situation. Before upgrading the gt package, although the edges of the gt table I drew were relatively compact, the content could be displayed completely, but the content of the last column in the graph exceeded the boundary after I upgraded packages. Is there any way to solve this problem before you develop new functions?
