I have a legend on a composite chart but the legend overlaps the the chart area. How do I fix it?
var legend = new CompositeLegend(); legend.ChartLayers.Add(layer); legend.Bounds = new Rectangle(5, 85, 80, 12); legend.BoundsMeasureType = MeasureType.Percentage;legend.PE.ElementType = PaintElementType.Gradient;legend.PE.FillGradientStyle = GradientStyle.ForwardDiagonal;legend.PE.Fill = Color.CornflowerBlue;legend.PE.FillStopColor = Color.Transparent;legend.Border.CornerRadius = 10;legend.Border.Thickness = 1;ultraChart.CompositeChart.Legends.Add(legend);
Hello Michael,
The size and location of your legend depend of the settings in Bounds properties:
legend.Bounds = new Rectangle(5, 85, 80, 12);
but these settings are related also with BoundsMeasureType property. In your scenario you are using Percentage option, but if you want you could use Pixels option
To prevent overlaps, you could modify the Bounds properties, but looking on the screenshot (it seems that you are using one of my samples), maybe in your case it is not enough, so you could modify the Bounds property of your Area. For example:
ChartArea area = new ChartArea();
area.Bounds =new Rectangle(0, 0, 700, 350);
this.ultraChart1.CompositeChart.ChartAreas.Add(area);
Please take a look on attached sample and video file for more details and let me know if you have any questions
Thanks! I'll watch the video.
Thanks for the feedback. If you have any further questions, feel free to write me
Hello, I would like to know how to change the position of the axis labels x, ie:the labels of the bars are currently visible, and below these, the label of the series,
i have this:

You would know tell me how I can do? Thank you very much in advance
I would like to know how I can choose the location of the serieslabel to avoid overlap I like the picture

Bingo! That is what I need. It is working great.
Hi,
In this case, my suggestion is to use Percentage option. For example:
area.Bounds = new Rectangle(0, 0, 90, 80);
area.BoundsMeasureType = MeasureType.Percentage;
Please take a look on attached video file for more details and let me know if you have any questions
One other question I guess. I want to keep from setting the bounds on the Chart Area because I want it to autosize with the form. If I set bounds on the area and the legend they do not respect the resizing and overlap each other. The two options I need are to add the legend at the bottom and it auto resizes with the chart holding its position under the xaxis or in lieu of that I could put an annotation at the top of each yaxis labeling the axis. Can I do either?
I see in the basic basic line chart when you activate the legend and set its location it autoresizes. Can I not do this with the composite chart legend(s)?
Thanks for your help.
