Examples

The following code example applies the tenth layout that is available for the chart type of the chart in chart sheet Chart1. In addition, the example uses the SetElement method to apply further layout changes: setting the style of the chart title to be centered and to lie inside the chart grid area, adding a title for the horizontal axis, and adding a rotated title for the vertical axis. To run this code example, your workbook must contain a clustered column two-dimensional chart sheet named Chart1.

private void DesignChartSheet()
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.ChartSheet myChartSheet  =
        Globals.Chart1.Base;

    myChartSheet.ApplyLayout(10, myChartSheet.ChartType);

    myChartSheet.SetElement(Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoChartElementType.
                       msoElementChartTitleCenteredOverlay);
    myChartSheet.SetElement(Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoChartElementType.
                       msoElementPrimaryCategoryAxisTitleHorizontal);
    myChartSheet.SetElement(Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoChartElementType.
                       msoElementPrimaryValueAxisTitleRotated);
}

Private Sub DesignChartSheet()
    Dim myChartSheet As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.ChartSheet = _
        Globals.Chart1.Base

    myChartSheet.ApplyLayout(10)

    myChartSheet.SetElement(Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoChartElementType. _
                       msoElementChartTitleCenteredOverlay)
    myChartSheet.SetElement(Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoChartElementType. _
                       msoElementPrimaryCategoryAxisTitleHorizontal)
    myChartSheet.SetElement(Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoChartElementType. _
                       msoElementPrimaryValueAxisTitleRotated)
End Sub
