Legend

[Fulcrum]

Hello, i have a pie chart with the legend at the bottom. What i would like is to put the legend elements in two colums to make it smaller

Hello Fulcrum,

I suggest you use MaxNumRows as do in next simple code:

Code: Select all

 Dim pie As Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Pie
    Dim ch1 As Steema.TeeChart.TChart
    Private Sub Initializechart()
        ch1 = New Steema.TeeChart.TChart()
        Me.Controls.Add(ch1)
        pie = New Pie(ch1.Chart)
        pie.FillSampleValues(10)
        ch1.Legend.Alignment = Steema.TeeChart.LegendAlignments.Bottom
        ch1.Legend.MaxNumRows = 5
    End Sub

Could you tell us if previous code works in your end?

Thanks,

[Sandra]

Hello Fulcrum,

No, The property MaxNumRows sets the Maximum number of Legend Rows displayed for a horizontal (Chart Top or Bottom) Legend. Therefore, for example,If you there are 20 values and you want two columns you need set the property MaxNumRows for example 10, because appears all the values.

I have probed it and only shows 5 parts

Hello Fulcrum,

How many values do you have?

Thanks,

[Fulcrum]

Hello Fulcrum,

Using next code, where I have used 10 values and Legend.MaxNumRows = 5:

Code: Select all

    Public Sub New()
        ' This call is required by the designer.
        InitializeComponent()
        InitializeChart()
        ' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.
    End Sub
    Dim pie As Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Pie
    Dim ch1 As Steema.TeeChart.TChart

    Private Sub Initializechart()
        ch1 = New Steema.TeeChart.TChart()
        Me.Controls.Add(ch1)
        pie = New Pie(ch1.Chart)
        pie.FillSampleValues(10)
        ch1.Legend.Alignment = Steema.TeeChart.LegendAlignments.Bottom
        ch1.Legend.MaxNumRows = 5
    End Sub

I have gotten next results:

PieChart2LegendColumns5Rows.jpg (34.45 KiB) Viewed 10566 times

As you see, I have a legend with two columns but 5 rows. Could you please tell us, if the result image is correct for you? If you consider isn't correct, would be very grateful if you can tell us, why.


Thanks,
