# Padding
The padding rule adds space around the content of a widget. You can specify padding with 1, 2 or 4 numbers.
- `padding: 1;` Sets a padding of 1 around all 4 edges
- `padding: 1 2;` Sets a padding of 1 on the top and bottom edges, and a padding of two on the left and right edges
- `padding: 1 2 3 4;` Sets a padding of one on the top edge, 2 on the right, 3 on the bottom, and 4 on the left.
Padding may also be set individually, following the same pattern as above, by setting `padding-top`, `padding-right`, `padding-bottom`, or `padding-left`.
## 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)
```
