labeling legend items

[Administrator]

I am using the enclosed code (see snippet) to display an x-y graph. I can't seem to get the program to display the variable names in the graph legend. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Jan stiff,

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

We suggest you to use the Sereis.Text property Legend text and not to use LegendName property. If you like to change the Legend Items text name, then this can be achieved using the Legend items text property.
Please refer the following code snippet:

[CS]
  ChartSeries data = new ChartSeries();
            // Setting the Series text will have the same name for Legend. 
            data.Text = "Series Text";
            data.Type = ChartSeriesType.Scatter;
            data.Style.Symbol.Size = new Size(10, 10);
            data.ScatterConnectType = ScatterConnectType.Spline;
            data.Points.Clear();

[cs]


     // Case 1:Customozing the Legend Items text. ) is the Item index  
            this.chartControl1.Legend.Items[0].Text = "Legend Text";

[cs]
//Case 2: Customizing the Legend Items text in a event. 
            this.chartControl1.Legend.FilterItems += new LegendFilterItemsEventHandler(Legend_FilterItems);


        void Legend_FilterItems(object sender, ChartLegendFilterItemsEventArgs e)
        {
            e.Items[0].Text = "Legend text";
            
        }

Let me know if
it helps.

I tried your suggestions but it doesn't seem to be working. No matter what I try, I can get symbols for each series in the legend, but can't seem to get the program to display a label for each symbol in the legend. Do you have any other suggestions?

I have included the actual routine where I build the charts. I currently have the legend turned off. But if I were to turn it back on, where would I put the instructions to make it display properly in this routine?

I am completely confused by this problem

Ignore preceeding post. I stumbled across a way to get it to work. All I can say is: I guess they need to "dumb down" the documentation for some of us.
