Legend Positioning with custom vertical axes?

Aaron Peronto · Post by **Aaron Peronto** » Tue Jul 22, 2008 2:58 pm

I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with trying to position the TeeChart embedded legend on a graph which contains multiple custom vertical axes.

We have the ability to generate a graph using 6 vertical axes. 3 on the left side and 3 of the right side.
When I try to place the TeeChart legend into the graph on either the left or the right side, the legend draws on top of the custom vertical axes.
I have looked at and tried to use many of the different properties on the legend itself to change its positioning with respect to the currently visible vertical axes but I cannot seem to get the placement correct.

Any assistance or recommendations with the placement of the legend would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Aaron,

Yes, you need to set the legend to a custom position as shown here. You can use axes properties, for example:

Code: Select all

			tChart1.Axes.Right.PositionUnits = Steema.TeeChart.PositionUnits.Pixels;
			tChart1.Legend.Left = tChart1.Axes.Right.Position + 30;

You may also need to set panel margins:

Code: Select all

			tChart1.Panel.MarginUnits = Steema.TeeChart.PanelMarginUnits.Pixels;
			tChart1.Panel.MarginRight = tChart1.Legend.Width + 50;

Hope this helps!

Thanks as always for the quick response.

This got me started in the right direction to get my legend placed correctly.
I ended up having to use the RelativePosition property of the farthest outside axis on the side the legend was getting drawn on.

This plus a little more math to determine the margins needed seems to be working pretty well.

Thanks again.
