Series Legend

In a multiple series chart, it is standard practice to add a box containing descriptions of the series displayed. Series legend box keys may be set using the Chart class SerLeg property or the Legend property of the SeriesAttributes class. Once you have set the legend keys, you may set position and style attributes using the SerLegBoxObj property.

Using the SerLegBoxObj property you can control the position and other important aspects of this tool in the chart. For example, the following code can be used to show and position the series legend on the bottom and to the left of the chart:


chart1.setSerLegBox(true);

chart1.getSerLegBoxObj().setAlignment(ToolAlignment.NEAR);
chart1.getSerLegBoxObj().setDocked(Docked.BOTTOM);

chart1.getSeries(0).setLegend("Product 1");
chart1.getSeries(1).setLegend("Product 2");
chart1.getSeries(2).setLegend("Product 3");

And the chart will look like:
