VisGraphicPositionHorizontal
Remarks
The default horizontal callout position for graphic items in the GraphicItems collection of a Master object of type visTypeDataGraphic, commonly called a data graphic master, is specified by the settings of the Master.DataGraphicHorizontalPosition property. If GraphicItem.UseDataGraphicPosition is True, the graphic item is positioned according to the default setting. If UseDataGraphicPosition is False, its horizontal position is determined by the settings of the GraphicItem.HorizontalPosition property.
Note, however, that users can manually re-position a data graphic that was applied to a shape by using the control handle of the data graphic. A position set in this manner takes precedence over the position specified by property settings.
The setting of the DataGraphicHorizontalPosition property corresponds to the setting of the Horizontal box under Default position in the New Data Graphic or Edit Data Graphic dialog box in the Microsoft Visio user interface (UI).
The following possible values for the DataGraphicHorizontalPosition property are from the VisGraphicPositionHorizontal enumeration, which is declared in the Visio type library.
