# Chart position and size properties

These properties define **how the chart is positioned and sized** within the boundaries of its chart element. You can choose to let the system handle this automatically or specify exact measurements manually for custom layouts.

## **Position and Size Options**

| **Property**  | **Description**                                                                                      |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Automatic** | The chart is **automatically positioned and sized** to fill the available area of the chart element. |
| **Manual**    | Allows **manual control** over the position and size of the chart by specifying precise percentages. |

## **Manual Position and Size Properties**

| **Property** | **Description**                                                                                              |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Left**     | The **horizontal start position** of the chart, as a **percentage of the total width** of the chart element. |
| **Top**      | The **vertical start position** of the chart, as a **percentage of the total height** of the chart element.  |
| **Width**    | The **width** of the chart, as a **percentage of the total width** of the chart element.                     |
| **Height**   | The **height** of the chart, as a **percentage of the total height** of the chart element.                   |

## **Remarks**

* **Automatic mode** is ideal when you want the system to optimize chart layout within the available space.
* **Manual mode** gives full control, which is useful when you need precise placement for specific design requirements.
* The **percentage-based system** ensures that resizing the overall chart element will adjust the chart proportionally.
