left_mode property

ChartDataLabel.left_mode property

Gets or sets the interpretation mode of the ChartDataLabel.left property value: whether it sets the location of the data label from the left edge of the chart of from the position specified by its ChartDataLabel.position property.

@property
def left_mode(self) -> aspose.words.drawing.charts.ChartDataLabelLocationMode:
    ...

@left_mode.setter
def left_mode(self, value: aspose.words.drawing.charts.ChartDataLabelLocationMode):
    ...

Remarks

The property cannot be set in a Word 2016 chart.
