Properties

NameDescription
Backward { get; set; }Returns or sets the number of periods (or units on a scatter chart) that the trendline extends backward. The number of periods must be greater than or equal to zero. If the chart type is column ,the number of periods must be between 0 and 0.5
BeginArrowLength { get; set; }Specifies the length of the arrowhead for the begin of a line.(Inherited from Line.)
BeginArrowWidth { get; set; }Specifies the width of the arrowhead for the begin of a line.(Inherited from Line.)

DataLabels { get; }Represents the DataLabels object for the specified series.
DisplayEquation { get; set; }Represents if the equation for the trendline is displayed on the chart (in the same data label as the R-squared value). Setting this property to True automatically turns on data labels.
DisplayRSquared { get; set; }Represents if the R-squared value of the trendline is displayed on the chart (in the same data label as the equation). Setting this property to True automatically turns on data labels.
EndArrowLength { get; set; }Specifies the length of the arrowhead for the end of a line.(Inherited from Line.)

EndType { get; set; }Specifies an arrowhead for the end of a line.(Inherited from Line.)
FormattingType { get; set; }Gets or sets format type.(Inherited from Line.)
Forward { get; set; }Returns or sets the number of periods (or units on a scatter chart) that the trendline extends forward. The number of periods must be greater than or equal to zero.
GradientFill { get; }Represents gradient fill.(Inherited from Line.)
Intercept { get; set; }Returns or sets the point where the trendline crosses the value axis.
IsAuto { get; set; }Indicates whether this line style is auto assigned.(Inherited from Line.)
IsAutomaticColor { get; }Indicates whether the color of line is automatic assigned.(Inherited from Line.)
IsNameAuto { get; set; }Returns if Microsoft Excel automatically determines the name of the trendline.
IsVisible { get; set; }Represents whether the line is visible.(Inherited from Line.)
JoinType { get; set; }Specifies the joining caps.(Inherited from Line.)
LegendEntry { get; }Gets the legend entry according to this trendline
Name { get; set; }Returns the name of the trendline.
Order { get; set; }Returns or sets the trendline order (an integer greater than 1) when the trendline type is Polynomial. The order must be between 2 and 6.
Period { get; set; }Returns or sets the period for the moving-average trendline.
Style { get; set; }Represents the style of the line.(Inherited from Line.)
ThemeColor { get; set; }Gets and sets the theme color.(Inherited from Line.)
Transparency { get; set; }Returns or sets the degree of transparency of the line as a value from 0.0 (opaque) through 1.0 (clear).(Inherited from Line.)
Type { get; }Returns the trendline type.
Weight { get; set; }Gets or sets the WeightType of the line.(Inherited from Line.)
WeightPt { get; set; }Gets or sets the weight of the line in unit of points.(Inherited from Line.)
WeightPx { get; set; }Gets or sets the weight of the line in unit of pixels.(Inherited from Line.)
