Legend in ASP.NET CORE Maps Component
30 Sep 202224 minutes to read
A Legend is a visual representation of the symbols used on the Maps. It can be represented in various colors, shapes or other identifiers based on the data and provides valuable information for interpreting what the Maps are displaying. It explains what each symbol in the Maps represents. Legends are enabled by setting the Visible property of MapsLegendSettings to true.
Modes of legend
Legend had two types of mode.
- Default mode
- Interactive mode
Default mode
Default mode legends having symbols with legend labels, used to identify the shape or bubble or marker color. To enable this option by setting the Mode property of MapsLegendSettings as Default.
Interactive mode
The legends can be made interactive with an arrow mark indicating the exact range color in the legend when the mouse hovers over the corresponding shapes. To enable this type of mode by setting the Mode property of MapsLegendSettings as Interactive. The InvertedPointer property is used to enable or disable the visibility of the inverted pointer in interactive legend in Maps.

Positioning of the legend
The legend can be positioned in the following two ways:
- Absolute position
- Dock position
Absolute position
The legend of the Maps can be positioned using the Location property in the MapsLegendSettings. For positioning the legend based on co-ordinates corresponding to a Maps, the Position property is set as Float.
Dock position
Legends are positioned in the following locations within the container. The Position property in MapsLegendSettings is used to set these options in Maps.
- Top
- Left
- Bottom
- Right
The above four positions can be aligned with combination of Near, Center and Far using Alignment property in MapsLegendSettings. So, the legend can be aligned to 12 positions.

Legend for shapes
Legend for shapes can be generated from color mapping types such as equal color mapping, range color mapping and desaturation color mapping.
The below code snippet demonstrate the equal color mapping legends for the shapes. To bind the given data source to the DataSource property of MapsLayer. Set the value of ShapePropertyPath to name and ShapeDataPath to Country. To enable equal color mapping, set the multiple MapsColorMapping to the MapsShapeSettings. Finally, set the Visible property of MapsLegendSettings as true. The Label property in MapsColorMapping is used to set the text name for legend in Maps.

- Circle
- Rectangle
- Triangle
- Diamond
- Cross
- Star
- HorizontalLine
- VerticalLine
- Pentagon
- InvertedTriangle
The shape of legends can be customized by using the ShapeWidth, ShapeHeight, ShapeBorder and ShapePadding properties.
Customization
The following properties are available in legend to customize the legend shape and legend text in Maps.
-
Background- To customize the background color of the Legend. -
Border- To customize the color, width and opacity of the border for the Legend. -
Fill- To apply the color for the Legend. -
LabelDisplayMode- To customize the display mode for the Legend text. -
LabelPosition- To customize the position of the Legend text. -
Orientation- To customize the orientation of the Legend. -
TextStyle- To customize the text style for Legend. -
Title- To apply the title for the Legend. -

Legend for items excluded from color mapping
The legend can be enabled for items excluded from the color mapping using the Color property in MapsColorMapping. Refer to the population_density data which demonstrates the population density of some countries.
[
...
{
'code': 'AE',
'value': 90,
'name': 'United Arab Emirates',
'population': 8264070,
'density': 99
},
{
'code': 'GB',
'value': 257,
'name': 'United Kingdom',
'population': 62041708,
'density': 255
},
{
'code': 'US',
'value': 34,
'name': 'United States',
'population': 325020000,
'density': 33
}
...
];In the following example, color mapping is added for the ranges from 0 to 200. If there are any records in the data source that are outside of this range, the color mapping will not be applied. To apply the color for these excluded items, set the Color property alone in the MapsColorMapping. To enable legend for these items, set the Visible property of MapsLegendSettings to true.
@{
var colorMapping = new List<Syncfusion.EJ2.Maps.MapsColorMapping>
{
new MapsColorMapping {From = 1, To = 100, Color = "rgb(153,174,214)"},

The following properties are available to customize the toggle option in legend.
-
ApplyShapeSettings– To apply theFillproperty value to the shape of the Maps when toggling the legend items. -
Fill- To apply the color to the shape of the Maps for which legend item is toggled. -
Opacity– To customize the transparency for the shapes for which legend item is toggled. -
Border– To customize the color, width and opacity of the border of the shapes in Maps.
