Examples

protected override void OnRender(ChartControl chartControl, ChartScale chartScale)
{
    // Store the beginning and ending x-coordinates of the canvas area
    double canvasBeginCoordinate = chartControl.CanvasLeft;
    double canvasEndCoordinate = chartControl.CanvasRight;
    // Print the stored values
    Print(String.Format("Chart canvas begins at x-coordinate {0} and ends at x-coordinate {1}", canvasBeginCoordinate, canvasEndCoordinate));
}

Based on the image below, CanvasLeft reveals that the chart canvas area begins at x-coordinate 53.

ChartControl_CanvasLeft

When no data series are left-aligned on a chart, CanvasLeft will return 0, representing the x-coordinate origin, because the chart canvas will begin at coordinate 0.
