    Mode - defines the annotation mode of the series. Possible values are:

    • None - the series is not annotated in any way.
    • Label - the series full label is displayed in the legend.
    • Data Points - the series data points are displayed in the legend. The text used to represent each data point is determined by the Format property.
    • Logic - series specific information is displayed in the legend.

    • Append - content is appended to previous legend content.
    • Prepend - content is prepended to previous legend content.
    • Append Inverted - content is first inverted and appended to previous legend content.
    • Prepend Inverted - content is first inverted and then prepended to previous legend content.
