The Title class encapsulates all the functionality of a title for the Chart control. This class is exposed using the Titles collection property of the root Chart object.

There can be any number of titles for an entire chart image.

Titles are able to:

  • Be docked and aligned or custom-positioned.

  • Be displayed inside or outside the plotted chart areas.

  • Use a predefined TextStyle such as Embed or Shadow.

  • Use hatching, gradient colors and background images.

  • Be sized and positioned anywhere within the chart image.
