Hi Experts,
I have created a manual legend for a chart - which basically is working:


But I have 2 problems:

1. How can I set the border lines around the legend to none ?
=> there is only oLegend.BorderStyle property - but I could not find a way to change this property to 'NoBorder'

2. Can I format the Legend entry text in a way that I can set Numbers subscript ?



The desired result should look then like (picture created with paint-app):


Thanks for your help,
best regards,
Joern

... unfortunatly, I posted this question under 'NOV Chart for NET' - actually the question relates to  'Nevron Chart for Net'. Could the admin please move the question to the appropriate section ?
Best regards, Joern

Hi Joern,

No problem about the post. You can turn off the legend borders using:

   NLegend legend = nChartControl1.Legends[0];


    legend.OuterBottomBorderStyle.Width = new Nevron.GraphicsCore.NLength(0);
    legend.OuterTopBorderStyle.Width = new Nevron.GraphicsCore.NLength(0);
    legend.OuterLeftBorderStyle.Width = new Nevron.GraphicsCore.NLength(0);
    legend.OuterRightBorderStyle.Width = new Nevron.GraphicsCore.NLength(0);

Regarding the subscript, yes this is possible - you need to set the text format to XML and then enclose the subscript text with sub tags:
   NChart chart = nChartControl1.Charts[0];

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

    bar.Name = "Subscript _text";
    bar.Legend.TextStyle.TextFormat = Nevron.GraphicsCore.TextFormat.XML;

    chart.Series.Add(bar);

We hope this helps - let us know if you meet any problems.

Hi Experts,
thanks a lot for the quick response - unfortunatly, when I apply the code example, only the outer border disappears:

 How can I force the remaining border lines between the legend entries to disappear ?


About the subscribed text for a legend entry:
The legend itself is created in manual mode without any reference to the displayed serie:


So unfortunatly, the suggested approach did not work. Is there a way to make the entry text with subscript even when the legend is created completly in manual mode ( sometimes just the chart with the legend and without any data series might be displayed) ?

Thanks again a lot for your help,
Best regards,
Joern

Hi Joern,

Regarding the legend - to turn off the legend grid lines you can use:
   legend.HorizontalBorderStyle.Width = new NLength(0);
    legend.VerticalBorderStyle.Width = new NLength(0);

As for the legend items text - you need to switch the text mode to XML for each legend item cell data:

someData.TextStyle.TextFormat = TextFormat.XML;

Then you can use XML formatting to apply subscript and superscript text. 
Let us know if you meet any problems or have any questions.
