The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.
context: RequestContext;
Represents the formatting of a chart legend, which includes fill and font formatting.
readonly format: Excel.ChartLegendFormat;
Specifies if the chart legend should overlap with the main body of the chart.
overlay: boolean;
boolean
Specifies the position of the legend on the chart. See Excel.ChartLegendPosition
for details.
position: Excel.ChartLegendPosition | "Invalid" | "Top" | "Bottom" | "Left" | "Right" | "Corner" | "Custom";
Excel.ChartLegendPosition | "Invalid" | "Top" | "Bottom" | "Left" | "Right" | "Corner" | "Custom"
Specifies if the chart legend is visible.
visible: boolean;
boolean
Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync()
before reading the properties.
load(options?: Excel.Interfaces.ChartLegendLoadOptions): Excel.ChartLegend;
Provides options for which properties of the object to load.
Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync()
before reading the properties.
load(propertyNames?: string | string[]): Excel.ChartLegend;
string | string[]
A comma-delimited string or an array of strings that specify the properties to load.
// Get the position of Chart Legend from Chart1.
await Excel.run(async (context) => {
const chart = context.workbook.worksheets.getItem("Sheet1").charts.getItem("Chart1");
const legend = chart.legend;
legend.load('position');
await context.sync();
console.log(legend.position);
});
Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync()
before reading the properties.
load(propertyNamesAndPaths?: {
select?: string;
expand?: string;
}): Excel.ChartLegend;
{ select?: string; expand?: string; }
propertyNamesAndPaths.select
is a comma-delimited string that specifies the properties to load, and propertyNamesAndPaths.expand
is a comma-delimited string that specifies the navigation properties to load.
Sets multiple properties of an object at the same time. You can pass either a plain object with the appropriate properties, or another API object of the same type.
set(properties: Interfaces.ChartLegendUpdateData, options?: OfficeExtension.UpdateOptions): void;
A JavaScript object with properties that are structured isomorphically to the properties of the object on which the method is called.
Provides an option to suppress errors if the properties object tries to set any read-only properties.
void
Sets multiple properties on the object at the same time, based on an existing loaded object.
set(properties: Excel.ChartLegend): void;
void
Overrides the JavaScript toJSON()
method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify()
. (JSON.stringify
, in turn, calls the toJSON
method of the object that's passed to it.) Whereas the original Excel.ChartLegend
object is an API object, the toJSON
method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Excel.Interfaces.ChartLegendData
) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.
toJSON(): Excel.Interfaces.ChartLegendData;
