# Network | Label margins

The labels of box, circle, database, icon and text nodes may have different margin values. Top, right, bottom and left margins may be different for each node.

Setting the margin value in the network's nodes property sets it as the default.

Setting a the value to a number uses that number for the margins. If the value is an object, a different value for each margin will be set.

Note that negative values appropriately push labels outside the node.
