Legend RepresentationType

[Nick Howard]

Hello,

Just out of curiousity, why are there differences in the values you can pick in ChartLegendItemType and ChartLegendRepresentationType? For instance, in ChartLegendItemType there is Spline, but not in ChartLegendRepresentationType. If I want to set the legend representation type to spline do I have to go through each of the legend items and set e.Items[i].Type?

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick, ChartLegendRepresentationType enumeration has symbols,series type and series image as its members. When you set the legend representation it will affect all the legends in the collection. Individual series types are not included in the Representation type because changing the representation type will change the legend type not for the individual series but for the entire collection. When a series is drawn, the legend picks up its item type (as the Representation type is set to Series Type) from the ChartLegendItemType enumerations. It is possible to set the legend item type for each series by setting the series.LegendItem type as appropriate. Note: This feature is available with the latest release of Essential Studio which is available for download in the thread linked below: http://www.syncfusion.com/Support/forums/message.aspx?MessageID=41784 Please let me know if this helps you. Thanks and Regards, Geetha.

I found my crashing problem. I commented out a line of code:

series.LegendItem.ShowIcon = false;

Not sure why that caused problems. Any idea?

But now I have a slight aesthetic problem. I'm creating legends with two rows - mostly to save horizontal space. It was simple to embed a into the legend.

But to get the spacing right I need:

chart.Legend.ItemsSize = new Size(20, 20);

That makes a big chunky color chip. Is there any way that I can slim down my rectangle to make it better looking?
