Is there a way to align the legend items vertically ? I have a legend at the bottom of the chart, with three columns. I'd like to get the legend items in vertical order, instead of horizontally.

As an example, I'd like something like
1 4 7
2 5 8
3 6 9

I'm using Teechart 6

Hi Bruno,

there's no way to do this autmatically, but this can be done using the canvas techniques. You can see on example of use in the TeeChart Pro Demo features project under :
All Features -> Welcome -> Miscellaneous -> Legend -> Dawing more text

I've thoght of this, but I have another problem. Later I need the legend the mouse is over in OnMouseMove:

(Sender AS TChart).CalcClickedPart(Point(X, Y), Part);
IF Part.PointIndex >= (Sender AS TChart).Series[0].Count THEN
Exit;
IF Part.Part = cpLegend THEN
FCurrSlice := Part.PointIndex

This will make Part.PointIndex point to the wrong slice, no ?

You can alter the X and Y coordinates for each Legend item within the LegendRect (found from OnGetLegendRect event)

Look up help on the OnGetLegendPos event
