Legend like a rectangle

[Paulo]

Typically Legend has a symbol equal to a circle. How do I have a rectangle instead of a circle?

Hello Paulo,

 You can handle the BeforeLayout or PrePaint events of RadChart and customize the Marker.Appearance.Figure property of the legend items to any of the predefined figures:

• Cross
• Diamond
• Ellipse
• Circle
• Rectangle
• Star3
• Star4
• Star5
• Star6

I have dificult to put this code.

radChart1.Legend.Marker.Appearence.Figure = Rectangle; // Do no work ==>> Error radChart1.Legend.Marker.Appearence.Figure = radChart1.Legend.Marker.Appearence.Figure = "Rectangle";  // Do not work

I get a example in this forum and nothing too.

void radChart1_BeforeLayout(object sender,EventAtgs e)
{
  radChart1.Legend.Items.Clear();
  LabelItem li = new LabelItem();
  li.Marker.Appearence.Figure = DefaultFigures.Rectangle;//Error in DefaultFigures
.....................................
}

My questions is: How Can I do?

Hi Paulo,

If you have one series only or you want each of the series in your chart to be with same Legend Figures you may simply use this code line:

RadChart1.Legend.Appearance.ItemMarkerAppearance.Figure = Telerik.Charting.Styles.DefaultFigures.Rectangle;

Otherwise you'll have to wire to PrePaint or BeforeLayout events of the chart and loop through legend items as shown below to change the Legend Figures:

protected void RadChart1_BeforeLayout(object sender, EventArgs e) 

{ 

    foreach (LabelItem item in RadChart1.Legend.Items) 

    { 

        item.Marker.Appearance.Figure
 = Telerik.Charting.Styles.DefaultFigures.Rectangle;
    } 

}
