# Legend Types and Orientation

## Content



Use the [Type](/componentone/api/win/online-chart3d/dotnet-framework-api/C1.Win.C1Chart3D.4.8/C1.Win.C1Chart3D.Chart3DLegend.Type.html) property of the [Chart3DLegend](/componentone/api/win/online-chart3d/dotnet-framework-api/C1.Win.C1Chart3D.4.8/C1.Win.C1Chart3D.Chart3DLegend.html) class to specify whether to draw the legend in a continuous or stepped style. Continuous legends take less space on the screen than stepped. The Type property can be accessed through the **Legend** node of the Visual Studio Properties window.
