A good way to control borders/margins/padding etc is not to set them on the canvas but to wrap the canvas in a div and set them on that like this:

Methods

obj.get(name)
An accessor that you can use to retrieve the values of properties.

obj.set(name, value)
An accessor that you can use to set the values of properties.

obj.getShape(event)
This method makes it easy to get hold of which segment has been clicked on or hovered over. It returns an object which has the following indexes available:
object The chart object
x The X coordinate of the segment or bar
y The Y coordinate of the segment or bar
width The width of the segment or bar
height The height of the segment or bar
dataset For a Horizontal Progress bar there's only ever one dataset so this is always zero.
index This is the zero-indexed index of the relevant segment. If your progress bar only has one segment then this will be zero.
sequentialIndex As there's only ever one dataset on a progress bar this is exactly the same as the index value.
tooltip If a tooltip is associated with this segment this will be it.id: strings are expanded for you (where the tooltip text is retrieved from the html tag with the matching ID).
<script>
    hprogress.canvas.onclick = function (e)
    {
        RGraph.redraw();
    
        var canvas  = e.target,
            obj     = canvas.__object__,
            shape   = obj.getShape(e);

        if (shape) {
            var x      = shape.x,
                y      = shape.y,
                width  = shape.width,
                height = shape.height;
            
            obj.path(
                'b r % % % % s black f red',
                x, y, width, height
            );
        }
    }
</script>


obj.getValue(mixed)

This method can be used to get the value at a particular point or at the mouse coordinates, based on the scale that is in use. Not simply the coordinates of the mouse. The argument can either be an event object (for use in event listener functions) OR a two-element array consisting of the X and Y coordinates (ie when you're not necessarily in an event listener). It returns null if the mouse or coordinates are in the margin areas. An example:

obj.canvas.onclick = function (e)
{
    var obj   = e.target.__object__;
    var value = obj.getValue(e);
    
    // ...
}

obj.getXCoord(value)

This method can be used to get an appropriate X coordinate for a value when you're doing custom drawing on the chart. It returns null if the value is out of range.


obj.on(event, function)

This method can be used to set an event listener on an object. It operates similarly to the jquery on function - the first argument is the event that you wish to attach to and the second is the handler function. For example:

obj.on('draw', function (obj)
{
    // Put your event code here
});

obj.exec(function)

The exec function is documented here.


obj.responsive(configuration)

The responsive function helps your charts respond to different browser window sizes and screen resolutions. For example, for smaller screens, you might want to have angled labels or show shorter versions of them completely.

Update: There is now the responsive configuration option available to you and this is now the preferred method of configuration.

The responsive function and configuration option are documented on their own page here.

The coordinates properties

There's only two coordinates properties on the Horizontal Progress bar and they're the obj.coords and obj.coordsText properties.

Events

RGraph supports custom events that allow you to easily add interactivity to your charts if required. The following events are available:

For example:
new RGraph.HProgress({
    id: 'cvs',
    min: 0,
    max: 100,
    value: 67,
    options: {
    }
}).on('draw', function (obj)
{
    console.log('The draw event has fired');
    
}).draw();

Effects

These effects are available and can be used instead of the draw function. There are also generic effects available which you can see here: Generic effects and transitions
<script>
    //
    // Optional callback function that's called when the effect is complete
    //
    function myCallback (obj)
    {
        // ...
    }

    obj = new RGraph.HProgress({
        id: 'cvs',
        min: 0,
        max: 100,
        value: 56,
        options: {
            marginLeft: 35
        }
    }).grow({frames: 60}, myCallback)
</script>
