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,
Yura

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.

    Have you tried the approach which I suggested in my previous answer? I believe it should provide desired behavior or maybe I’m missing something?
