The chart legend supports the following customization:

  • Visible: the legend visibility.
  • Position: top, right, left, bottom, topRight.
  • Background: color, transparency.
  • Text: font family, font size, color.
  • Border: color, transparency, width.
  • Overlapping: whether the legend display with overlapping plotArea.
  • Layout: x, y, width, height.

You can customize the legend using the following code:

    var legend = chart.legend();
    legend.visible = "orange";
    legend.position = GC.Spread.Sheets.Charts.LegendPosition.top;
    legend.backColor = "orange";
    legend.backColorTransparency = 0.8;

    legend.fontFamily = "Arial";
    legend.fontSize = 9;
    legend.color = "green";

    legend.borderStyle.color = "green";
    legend.borderStyle.transparency = 0.3;
    legend.borderStyle.width = 3;

    legend.showLegendWithoutOverlapping = false;
    legend.layout= {
        x: 0.2,
        y: 0.5,
        width: 0.4,
        height: 0.2 
    }   

    chart.legend(legend);
