Can''t set font size of legend

[Matthias Max]

Hi,

I'm setting the font size of the legend like this:
cwcChart.Legend.Font.Name = "Sans-Serif"
cwcChart.Legend.Font.Size = New FontUnit(10, UnitType.Pixel)

The size will not be recognized by the chart though. Also when I don't set the size at all the value is "8pt" but its definitely much bigger than 8pt in the chart picture in the browser.

Is this a known bug?

My version: 10.1.0.44

Thanks

HI, thanks for the reply. This works for me.

For some reason though, in my case the Font is way bigger then 10px. I tried to set it now to 8 px for a test. It then gets smaller like around the size in your example. I have to put 8 px though to make it work with this workaround. What aspects may lead to this behaviour?

Another question: How can I change the Icon of the legends to "straightline" for the seris without using custom icons?

Thakn you!

Hi Matthias,

Thanks for your update.

We deeply regret for inconvenience caused.

We are unable to reproduce the issue which was mentioned by you in the last response of this forum(legend font size not working properly in some cases).

We suggest you to use RepresentationType property of legend to customize the icon displayed in the legend.It Specifies how each legend item should be represented. Please refer below code snippet.

[C#]

this.ChartWebControl1.Legend.RepresentationType = ChartLegendRepresentationType.StraightLine;

For more information about customizing legend item image, Please refer our online documentation link given below.
