The legend contains identifiers for each of the series of the data. The legend area can contain legend items, a background, and borders. The legend area is positioned using a relative location (where (0,0) = the left upper corner of the chart and (1,1) = the right lower corner of the chart) and a relative alignment (where (0,0) = the left upper corner of the label area and (1,1) = the right lower corner of the label area).

See the following for more information on how to set properties for the legend:

• LegendArea
• LegendAreaCollection

Using Code

Use location and alignment properties in the legend area classes to set the legend.

Example

The following example sets properties for the legend.

LegendArea legend = new LegendArea();
legend.Location = new PointF(0.98f, 0.5f);
legend.AlignmentX = 1.0f;
legend.AlignmentY = 0.5f; 

Dim legend As New FarPoint.Win.Chart.LegendArea()
legend.Location = New PointF(0.98F, 0.5F)
legend.AlignmentX = 1.0F
legend.AlignmentY = 0.5F 

Using the Chart Designer

1. Select the Legend Area Collection editor.
