Hi,

I'm using the following code to display a bar chart. I used to set the height and width for the NChartControl as shown. But if you refer Image 1, if i predefined the height, the legend is cut at the end. Is there any way to make the height stretch automatically?

NChartControl NChartControl1 = new NChartControl();
NLegend m_Legend;

//config chart control
NChartControl1.Width = 700;
NChartControl1.Height = 300;

if (NChartControl1.RequiresInitialization)
{
//Config chart
NChart chart = NChartControl1.Charts[0];
}

Any help is much appreciated.

Best regards,
Hasindu

Hi Hasindu,

You need to recalculate the chart layout and check what is the legend height in order to dynamically resize the control – the following code snippet shows how to achieve this:

                NThinChartControl1.Settings.JitterMode = JitterMode.Enabled;
                NThinChartControl1.BackgroundStyle.FrameStyle.Visible = false;

                           // setup chart
                NChart chart = NThinChartControl1.Charts[0];
                chart.BoundsMode = BoundsMode.Stretch;
                chart.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
                chart.Margins = new NMarginsL(10, 10, 10, 10);

                           for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
                           {
                                  NBarSeries bar = new NBarSeries();
                                  bar.Values.Add(i);
                                  chart.Series.Add(bar);
                           }

                           // recalculate layout
                           NThinChartControl1.RecalcLayout();

                           // update height
                           NLegend legend = NThinChartControl1.Legends[0];
                           NThinChartControl1.Height = new Unit(legend.ContentArea.Bottom + 10, System.Web.UI.WebControls.UnitType.Pixel);
