Hello Fulcrum,
I suggest you use MaxNumRows as do in next simple code:
Code: Select all
Dim pie As Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Pie
Dim ch1 As Steema.TeeChart.TChart
Private Sub Initializechart()
ch1 = New Steema.TeeChart.TChart()
Me.Controls.Add(ch1)
pie = New Pie(ch1.Chart)
pie.FillSampleValues(10)
ch1.Legend.Alignment = Steema.TeeChart.LegendAlignments.Bottom
ch1.Legend.MaxNumRows = 5
End Sub
Could you tell us if previous code works in your end?
Thanks,

No, The property MaxNumRows sets the Maximum number of Legend Rows displayed for a horizontal (Chart Top or Bottom) Legend. Therefore, for example,If you there are 20 values and you want two columns you need set the property MaxNumRows for example 10, because appears all the values.
Thanks,

Hello Fulcrum,
Using next code, where I have used 10 values and Legend.MaxNumRows = 5:
Code: Select all
Public Sub New()
' This call is required by the designer.
InitializeComponent()
InitializeChart()
' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.
End Sub
Dim pie As Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Pie
Dim ch1 As Steema.TeeChart.TChart
Private Sub Initializechart()
ch1 = New Steema.TeeChart.TChart()
Me.Controls.Add(ch1)
pie = New Pie(ch1.Chart)
pie.FillSampleValues(10)
ch1.Legend.Alignment = Steema.TeeChart.LegendAlignments.Bottom
ch1.Legend.MaxNumRows = 5
End Sub
I have gotten next results:
- PieChart2LegendColumns5Rows.jpg (34.45 KiB) Viewed 10501 times
As you see, I have a legend with two columns but 5 rows. Could you please tell us, if the result image is correct for you? If you consider isn't correct, would be very grateful if you can tell us, why.
Thanks,
