Legend customization - Xamarin Android

Hi Benigno,

I’m afraid it isn’t possible to achieve desired look of the legend at this moment because our legend implementation is based on LinearLayout and it doesn’t support wrapping of its children.

Regarding the placement the legend outside chart ( like on picture where legend is below chart ) – it was very hard to achieve in v2.0 but we’ve added native support for this case in v2.1 ( it isn’t released yet but you can get it from our Maven repository where we publish nightly builds ).

In v2.1 you’ll need to declare SciChartLegend somewhere in your layout ( e.g. below the chart ):

<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.SciChartSurface
    android:id="@+id/chart"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

<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>

And then just need to pass that legend instance into LegendModifier via constructor:

 LegendModifier legendModifier = new LegendModifier(legend);
