Hello,

I want to use the Custom Legend Tool but I need to make it, and the string grid in it, transparent. The effect I want is just the text in columns and rows, but have the gridlines, border and background not visible. I have gotten rid of the border and grid lines but still have the background. Is this a limitation with the string grid?

Any help is appreciated. I can post some sample code.

Thanks

Hello Hardee,

If you don't want appear lines in your legends you need put property of legend DivindigLines to false as do in next code example:

Code: Select all

procedure TForm2.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var Series1:TBarSeries;
    Series2:TBarSeries;
begin
     Series1 := TBarSeries.Create(self);
     Series2 := TBarSeries.Create(self);
     Chart1.AddSeries(Series1);
     Chart1.AddSeries(Series2);
     Series1.FillSampleValues(5);
     Series2.FillSampleValues(5);

     ChartTool1.Series:=Series2;
     Chart1.Legend.DividingLines.Visible:=False;
     Chart1.Legend.LegendStyle := lsValues;
     Chart1.Legend.TextStyle := ltsXAndValue;
     ChartTool1.Legend.DividingLines.Visible:=False;
     ChartTool1.Legend.TextStyle := ltsXAndValue;
end;

Could you tell us if previous code works as you want? If it doesn't works as you want, please send us a simple project or explain exactly what are you doing, so we can help you to find a good solution for you.
I hope will helps.
