Overview
The chart area of your chart web part can be automatically or specifically positioned and sized. This lets you set the exact look and proportions of your charting web parts. This article describes how to work with the Chart Area Position property.
Setting The Position Property
The Position property, which includes the Width and Height sizing properties, can be automatically calculated by setting its Auto property to True. When the Auto property is set to True, all of its component settings will be calculated for you by the chart web part. If you choose to set the Position property, or any of its component size properties yourself, you must set the value of the Auto property to False. If any of the Position's component properties are set to a value greater than its default 0 value, then the Auto property will automatically get set to False by the chart web part.
All of the component property settings must be expressed as percentage values. That is to say that you must set the X and Y coordinate positions, as well as the Width and Height properties as a percentage of the entire chart area container.
