Legend marker to follow series pointmark?

[Sivam]

Hi,
I've specified different PointMark figures for different series. The legend marker is still rectangle. How can i make the legend marker to follow the series point mark figure?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Sivam,

You will need to change the series legend display mode, manually add a custom legend item for each series and set its Figure property appropriately like this:

chartSeries1.Appearance.LegendDisplayMode =  Telerik.Reporting.Charting.ChartSeriesLegendDisplayMode.Nothing;

LabelItem legendItem = new LabelItem("Series 1");
legendItem.Marker.Appearance.Figure = DefaultFigures.Cross;
legendItem.Marker.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = Color.Red;
legendItem.Marker.Appearance.FillStyle.FillType = FillType.Solid;
Chart1.Legend.Items.Add(legendItem);

Hi,

Similarly, i'm using different PointMarks for different kind of data.
I would like to be able to display the same marker shape in the legend (see attachement).
I was able to do that by manually adding a custom legend item for each series and set its Figure property appropriately as mentioned in previous post.

However doing it this way, i loose the selection/hover interactivity effects.
Is there a way to automatically bind the legend item shape to the poitmark shape ? or any other way to achieve the above and keep the interactivity effects?

Thanks for your help

Hi Lauren,

We are not sure we correctly understand your inquiry. Generally Telerik Reporting Chart item doesn't have any interactivity effects. Are you by any chance using the RadChart for ASP.NET AJAX instead?

All the best,
