# Center Positioning

This sample show how to place the axis in the center of the chart area, instead of at the edges.

```js chart-editor
// <block:actions:2>
const actions = [
  {
    name: 'Default Positions',
    handler(chart) {
      chart.options.scales.x.position = 'bottom';
      chart.options.scales.y.position = 'left';
      chart.update();
    }
  },
  {
    name: 'Position: center',
    handler(chart) {
      chart.options.scales.x.position = 'center';
      chart.options.scales.y.position = 'center';
      chart.update();
    }
  },
  {
    name: 'Position: Vertical: x=-60, Horizontal: y=30',
    handler(chart) {
      chart.options.scales.x.position = {y: 30};
      chart.options.scales.y.position = {x: -60};
      chart.update();
    }
  },
];
// </block:actions>


// <block:setup:1>

      backgroundColor: Utils.transparentize(Utils.CHART_COLORS.red, 0.5),
