[Solved] Using template for Chart Legend Labels

[Erwin]

Hi,

can anyone show me how to use a template for the labels in a chart legend in Kendo for MVC? The fluent api allows for controlling font, color, position, etc, but the labels template is nowhere to be found.

Below is a piece of code taken from the DataViz demo, to illustrate what I mean.

$("#chart").kendoChart({

                        theme: $(document).data("kendoSkin") || "default",

                        title: {

                            text: "Break-up of Spain Electricity Production for 2008"

                        },

                        legend: {

                            position: "bottom",

                            labels: {

                                template: "#= text # (#= value #%)"

                            }

                        },

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Erwin

Hi Ervin Stam,

Currently there is no such functionality available. I would suggest to submit your request in Kendo's UserVoice so other members of the community can evaluate, comment on and vote for it.

"Currently there is no such functionality available" - is this still true?

The KendoUI for ASP.NET MVC DataViz examples have a Pie Labels category that seems to work using a Template, but I don't see where "percentage" in the template gets resolved from.  How does one explicitly set the Labels text?

Hi,

In Q1 2013, this feature seems to still be missing. Is there any workaround to change the content of the legend's labels, like for instance a way to apply a client-side template  with javascript ?

Hello Olivier,

Could you try with legend.labels.template? I am not sure why you can't find this feature.
