}Legend layout
The Layout property in LegendSettings allows you to display the legend either horizontally or vertically. By default, the Layout is set to Auto. The MaximumColumns property in LegendSettings defines the maximum number of columns that can be displayed within the available space when using the auto layout. Additionally, enabling the FixedWidth property in LegendSettings ensures that all legend items are displayed with equal widths. The width of each item is determined by the maximum width among the legend items.
