Property Value

Type Description
Boolean

true, if the constant line is shown in the legend; otherwise, false.

To specify the text that will identify the current constant line in a legend, use the LegendText property.

Example

This example shows how to add a constant line to a numeric y-axis, customize its appearance and show it in the chart legend. To do this, add a NumericConstantLine object with the specified properties to the NumericAxisY.ConstantLines collection.
