Gets or sets whether the legend items are manually placed.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property ManualLayout As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As LegendArea
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.ManualLayout = value
 
value = instance.ManualLayout

public bool ManualLayout {get; set;}

Remarks

When the ManualLayout property is false and the legend changes size or location, the plot area is adjusted to follow the legend area.
