Legend appears above chart

Hi Devin,

You can nest the chart and legend in a single dock panel - the following code shows how to create a layout configuration that docks a header to the top and a legend to the bottom:

   nChartControl1.Panels.Clear();

    NLabel label = new NLabel("Some Header");
    label.DockMode = PanelDockMode.Top;

    nChartControl1.Panels.Add(label);

    NDockPanel chartAndLegend = new NDockPanel();
    chartAndLegend.Margins = new NMarginsL(10);
    chartAndLegend.DockMode = PanelDockMode.Fill;
    chartAndLegend.PositionChildPanelsInContentBounds = true;
    nChartControl1.Panels.Add(chartAndLegend);

    NLegend legend = new NLegend();
    legend.DockMode = PanelDockMode.Bottom;
    chartAndLegend.ChildPanels.Add(legend);

    NCartesianChart chart = new NCartesianChart();
    chart.BoundsMode = BoundsMode.Stretch;
    chartAndLegend.ChildPanels.Add(chart);
    chart.DisplayOnLegend = legend;

    NBarSeries bar = new NBarSeries();
    bar.Values.Add(10);
    bar.Values.Add(20);
    bar.Values.Add(30);
    chart.Series.Add(bar);

Hope this helps - let us know if you have any questions.

We create our charts with two dock panels, one on the top for textual header information and one at the bottom for the actual chart. Whenever the chart has a legend, the legend appears in the middle of the header as seen in the attached image. How do we make the legend appear below the chart in the chart's dock panel?
