# Padding
The padding rule adds space around the content of a widget. You can specify padding with 1, 2 or 4 numbers.
| example | |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `padding: 1;` | A single value sets a padding of 1 around all 4 edges |
| `padding: 1 2;` | Two values sets the padding for the top/bottom and left/right edges |
| `padding: 1 2 3 4;` | Four values sets top, right, bottom, and left padding independently |
Padding may also be set individually by setting `padding-top`, `padding-right`, `padding-bottom`, or `padding-left` to an single value.
## Example
This example adds padding around static text.
=== "padding.py"
```python
--8<-- "docs/examples/styles/padding.py"
```
=== "Output"
```{.textual path="docs/examples/styles/padding.py"}
```
## CSS
```sass
/* Set padding of 2 on the top and bottom edges, and 4 on the left and right */
padding: 2 4;
```
## Python
```python
# In Python you can set the padding as a tuple of integers
widget.styles.padding = (2, 3)
```
