How to make customize legend outside SciChart surface

Hi there,

Well since v2.1 release it pretty simple to do:

1. You declare SciChartLegend somewhere in layout where you want to place legend.

     <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
             android:layout_width="match_parent"
             android:layout_height="match_parent"
             android:orientation="vertical">
   
             <com.scichart.charting.visuals.legend.SciChartLegend
                   android:id="@+id/legend"
                   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                   android:layout_gravity="center"
                   android:layout_margin="10dp"/>
   
    </LinearLayout>
   

2. You create LegendModifier for chart and pass SciChartLegend instance.

      final SciChartLegend legend = (SciChartLegend) findViewById(R.id.legend);
   
      ModifierGroup modifierGroup = sciChartBuilder.newModifierGroup()
               .withLegendModifier(legend).build()
               .build();
   

That’s all.

Also we have a few examples in our demo application which shows how to do this.

Hope this will help you!

Best regards,

Hi Yura
I want to draw the legends whenever a new Renderable series is added on surface and it should be disappeared as soon as Renderable series removed from the surface. Legends need to be draw outside the surface so that i can see renderable series properly.

Thanks alot Yura. it works 🙂
