Query: Set number of displayed legend entries in a Chart

[Robert David]

Hi We're having issues with the number of displayed x axis legend entries. What we are trying to get it a consistent number of evenly spaced x axis labels for multiple different charts (enough data points to produce them).

As an example in the playground if I set maximumLabels to 2, we get an inconsistent number of legend entries.

Is there a way of setting total number of legend entries for a chart?

If not can we make that feature request?

Hi Robert,

 Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support.

  We have analysed your query.

The MaximumLabels property determines the number of labels displayed per 100 pixels when the range is not set.

To know more about the maximum labels property please refer the below link
https://help.syncfusion.com/js/chart/axis#maximum-number-of-labels-per-100-pixels

If the Range is set, then all the data within the particular range is displayed.

Please refer the below link to know more about the range in datetime axis

https://help.syncfusion.com/js/chart/axis#customizing-date-time-range

If all the labels need to be displayed then the label intersect action can be set as Multiple Rows

https://help.syncfusion.com/api/js/ejchart#members:primaryxaxis-labelintersectaction

To know more about the label intersect action please refer the below sample:

When the label Format for the xAxis labels is changed then more labels will be visible

We have modified the sample containing the label intersect action property.

We would also like to know if the highlighted part is what you have specified as legends.

If not kindly revert back us to specifying your requirement

Please let us know if you have any concerns

Regards,

Deepaa.
