Sometimes I have a large number of points added to a serie and it doesn't look so great when having a legend that big. Of course I'm able to rearrange legend but if it contains a lot of items, the chart will be rendered in (a too) small area and (for example) the pie gets too small and you aren't able to figure out its content. To get around this I'm trying to implement a custom scrollable legend.

 

I have two controls which I can use for this: ReportControl and PropertyGridControl  The one on the left is PropertyGrid and on the right is ReportControl (See image below) Both controls need Markup to render the colors, these colors are already present in ChartControl class <Palette> 

 

Properties <Color> and <Color2> are used to create gradient square but if you look at the original legend, the square has a border which is darker. Question: How to get that color?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For now I just want to implement squares because Markup isn't still my best quality  but maybe I will add some of the CJ legend 'styles'

 

Thanks a lot in advance

Its calculated from Color - we convert to HSL, decrease Light and convert back to RGB.  Will add some tool method for it.

I was fiddling around to get the different legend styles rendered with Markup. To my surprise it looks same way as you have already in Legend. Does that mean you use Markup to render Legend as well? If so, why can't we have a scrollbar in Legend... you could easely add ScrollViewer to it and have a property we could set if scrollbars are needed when the list gets to long and I wouldn't have to fiddle anymore

 

Thanks a lot
