I’m trying to add a component to a window with an easy chart which will be the same width of the plot area of the chart itself. Is there a way to determine the width of the plot area? The plot area is dynamic with regards to showing the pens and the length of the pen names so I’d like to be able to determine this through scripting or a property of the chart.

Thanks in advance.
