How to add more spaces to the main panel in a shiny panel?

Question

I have a couple of diagrams in my main panel in Shiny Dashboard, and I was wondering how to expand the space at the bottom of the main panel? How do I change mine ui.Rto do this?

dashboardBody(
    tabItems(
      tabItem("dashboard",

              mainPanel(
                showOutput("plot3", "Nvd3"),
                showOutput("plot4", "Nvd3")

         )),

Update: adding HTML("<br><br><br>")on the main panel only created a wider dark panel:

Answer 1

Use CSS, in your ui.R file add:

tags$head(
   tags$style(
       HTML("#dashboard{margin-bottom:50px;}")
   )
)

Answer 2

Can you try wrapping you in a showOutputwrapper div?

tags$div(
  style="margin-bottom:50px;",
  showOutput("plot4", "Nvd3")
)

Answer 3

. fluidRow() ...

Answer 4

I had the same problem, and as per the Jthorpe prompt , I deleted everything mainPanelfrom my script. I have six graphs one by one vertically, and it works great.

Answer 5

For vertical spaces in Shiny you can use headerPanel("")
