Example

To execute an example add references to the Chart, Metabase, Report, Tab system assemblies. It requires a regular report with OBJ_1 identifier. A report must contain two sheets: the first sheet contains a chart with internal legend, the second sheet contains a chart with external one.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    mb: IMetabase;
    report: IprxReport;
    legend: IChartLegend;
    externallegend: IChartExternLegend;
    chart: Ichart;
Begin
    mb := MetabaseClass.Active;
    report := Mb.ItemById("OBJ_1").Edit As IPrxReport;
    //Refer to internal legend
    chart := (report.Sheets.Item(0) As IPrxTable).TabSheet.Objects.Item(0).Extension As Ichart;
    legend := chart.Legend;
    legend.ElementVerticalAlignment := ChartLegendElementVerticalAlignment.Bottom; //Bottom
    (report As IMetabaseObject).Save;
    //Refer to external legend
    externallegend := (report.Sheets.Item(1) As IPrxTable).TabSheet.Objects.Item(1).Extension As IChartExternLegend;
    externallegend.ElementVerticalAlignment := ChartLegendElementVerticalAlignment.Top; //Top
    (report As IMetabaseObject).Save;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example the vertical alignment of elements inside the legend is changed: on the first sheet it is Bottom, on the second sheet it is Top.
