[Help] Adjusting Position of Graphic Object Elements

Is it possible to add padding to or move around graphic object elements like status markers and the bars that are displayed when both a min/max are specified? Is it possible through the API to move one of the bars up (bar3 which I use for health) so it's not overlapping on the token art?

No, those things aren't possible. If you use a different bar for health, it'll be higher up.

I wanted the circles above PCs / NPCs heads to be in the order of "HP", "AC", "Speed" and if I move HP from bar3 to bar1 it places HP in the middle circle while I would much rather have it displayed in the first circle.

You're only option is to pull down the graphic you want to use and add some padding around it.  I did this just last night for a new character.

You'd need to download the image.  The easiest way is to select a token and hit Z to pull it up, then right click and download it. Then you need to load it into an image editor (I'm using Affinity Photo, but Gimp and Photoshop are pretty much the same) Next, adjust the Canvas size to be larger.  The token I did last night was 400x398 pixels, I made a 500x500 canvas--it's easiest if it's square. Next, I grabbed the drag tool (looks like an arrow, or possibly a 4-pointed arrow) and grabbed the layer to move it around. I like to center the nose of the token in the canvas. Then save out the file as a PNG and drag it into the VTT.
OH! That's what you meant! That's simple enough. I have Photoshop and been doing graphic design for 15 years I have no idea why I didn't think to do this that is so clever! I'll do it just for the PCs and not worry about NPCs though I don't want to have to do this for 100+ token graphics. Thanks for the tip The Aaron!
