setTop

public void setTop(int value)

Gets or sets the distance in pixels between the top border of the bounding rectangle and the top border of the plot area of the chart.

Below, the top margin of the chart is set to 100 pixels:

Java

chart1.getPlotAreaMargin().setTop(100);
PopulateProductSales(chart1);
chart1.getTitles().add(new TitleDockable("Wine Sales by Type"));
chart1.getAxisY().getLabelsFormat().setFormat(AxisFormat.CURRENCY);

public static void PopulateProductSales(Chart chart1) {
    ProductSales[] data = new ProductSales[]{
        new ProductSales("Jan", 12560, 23400, 34500),
        new ProductSales("Feb", 13400, 21000, 38900),
        new ProductSales("Mar", 16700, 17000, 42100),
        new ProductSales("Apr", 12000, 19020, 43800),

        new ProductSales("Dec", 13400, 15400, 49100)
    };
    ObjectProvider objProvider = new ObjectProvider(data);
    chart1.getDataSourceSettings().setDataSource(objProvider);
