| LegendFormat | A legend format. |
Remarks
ILegendFormat controls general legend formatting.
Legend class formatting from a LegendClassFormat object can override some properties set through this interface (DefaultPatchWidth, DefaultPathHeight, DefaultLinePatch, DefaultAreaPatch). The LegendClassFormat object comes from either the layer (ILegendClass.Format), or from the legend (ILegendItem.LegendClassFormat ).
For more on patches, see the help under IPatch.
The LegendFormat also manages the format of the legend's title. Set ShowTitle to False to hide the title. TitlePosition allows you to set on which side of the legend the title will be displayed.
The gap properties define the spacing between the different parts of the legend.
The Scale method is used to resize the legend.
