# Customize Chart Segments

Use segment gaps and borders to increase visual separation between adjacent chart segments.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in Salesforce Lightning Experience.</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available with CRM Analytics, which is available for an extra cost in <strong>Enterprise</strong>, <strong>Performance</strong>, and <strong>Unlimited</strong> Editions.

1. In the dashboard or lens, click the chart whose segments you want to format.
2. Select **Show Segment Gap** to add spacing between adjacent segments, and then select a gap size of 1, 2, 4, or 8.

    Note Gap sizes above 8 can distort the chart layout and obscure smaller segments, so select a value up to 8. The default gap size is 2.
3. Select **Show Segment Border** to add a colored border around each segment, and then use the color picker to choose the border color.

    Note For charts with thin segments, avoid dark border colors, because they can visually obscure smaller segments. The color picker defaults to white.

Use **Show Segment Gap** and **Show Segment Border** independently or together, depending on the visual separation your chart needs.
