Marker Fill Color in Legend?

[Jeff Kershner]

I am setting ChartLegend.UseAutoGeneratedItems = false, and manually adding in the LegendItems like this:

ChartLegendItem cli = new ChartLegendItem();
cli.Label = data.company;
cli.MarkerShape = MarkerShape.Circle;
cli.Foreground = chart.PaletteBrushes[i++];

I get the attached image.

What I would like to do is to remove the text "Legend" and change the circles to the correct series colors.  The cli.Forground is correctly setting the legend text color, but I would like to set the market color in both the chart and the legend.

Can anyone see how I might do this?

Hello Jeff Kershner,

Straight to your questions:

• To remove the title, just add one line in your code behind:

RadChart1.DefaultView.ChartLegend.Header = "";

• To set color to your ChartLegendItem:

cli.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red); //chart.PaletteBrushes[i++]


Please, try these and tell us if you need something else to be changed.

That worked for getting the legend colors correct.

How do I get the marker colors correct in the chart?  (In the attachment you can see they are still white circles).

Hi Jeff Kershner,

It could be done as follows:

DataSeries dataSeries = new DataSeries();
dataSeries.Definition.Appearance.PointMark.Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red);

Hope this helps.

All the best,
