my d3.js code generates the following HTML (this was taken from inspect element)
The paths render a circle with text at the bottom of it.
Ultimately I want the text to be UNDER the circle within the bounds of the SVG element. If the SVG element is larger, the G element renders larger. I need to control either the size of the G element or the size of the path elements.
How would I add width and height constraints or padding to the G element? It doesn't respond to width, height, x, y in style
cursory google search was not very helpful
thanks for any insight.

There is no padding or margin, but you can set x and y attributes such that the elements inside or outside get a padding and margin. For example, if an element starts at (0,0), starting at (10, 10) will automatically give a margin of 10.
The <g> SVG element is a container used to group other SVG elements. Transformations applied to the <g> element are performed on its child elements, and its attributes are inherited by its children. It can also group multiple elements to be referenced later with the <use> element.
If an element has a specified width, any padding added to that element will add to the total width of the element. This is often an undesirable result, as it requires that an element's width be recalculated each time the padding is adjusted.
The <g> element is a container element for grouping together related graphics elements.
The <g> element doesn't really render at all, it's the <path> and <text> elements you need to adjust.
