Layout Mode of Chart Plot Area
While adding charts in the presentations, setting layout mode for chart plot area is one of the frequently used features. In this release, we have introduced a new property LayoutTargetType to control the layout of the chart plot area. Now you can define the layout of the plot area manually by setting the new property, with two possible values Inner or Outer, This property specifies whether to layout the plot area by its inside (not including axis and axis labels) or outside (including axis and axis labels).
