Legend in ASP.NET Core TreeMap control
15 Oct 2021 / 4 minutes to read
Legend is used to provide valuable information for interpreting what the TreeMap displays. The legends can be represented in various colors, shapes or other identifiers based on the data.
Position and alignment
Legend position is used to place legend in various positions. Based on the legend position, the legend item will be aligned. For example, if the position is top or bottom, the legend items are placed by rows. If the position is left or right, the legend items are placed by columns.
The following options are available to customize the legend position:
- Top
- Bottom
- Left
- Right
- Float

Legend mode
The TreeMap control supports two different types of legend rendering modes such as Default and Interactive.
Default mode
In default mode, the legends have symbols with legend labels that are used to identify the items in the TreeMap.

Interactive mode
The legends can be made interactive with an arrow mark that indicates exact range color in the legend when the mouse hovers on the TreeMap item. Enable this option by setting the mode property in the legendSettings to Interactive.
