This topic explains, with a code example, how to dock a legend to the XamDataChart™ control.
Legends, just like other User Interface (UI) controls can be docked to the XamDataChart control plot area. Legends are docked by first wrapping the XamDataChart and Legend controls with the xamDock™ container control and then setting the respective docking properties. (Table 1 below) Alternatively, you can wrap the XamDataChart and the other controls with WPF host controls like the StackPanel, Grid, and others.
Figure 1: The XamDataChart control with Legend controls docked in different locations of the chart plot area
Table 1 explains the available properties for docking Legend objects to the XamDataChart control.
Table 1: Properties for docking child controls in the xamDock control
The following example provides all possible docking locations of legends relative to the chart plot area. But only one of the Legend objects provided can be used at time and bound to the Legend property of the XamDataChart control. In order to display multiple legends per series then you need to bind the legend to Legend property of the Series object instead of that of the XamDataChart control. For further details, refer to the Multiple Legends topic.
