Legend in JavaScript Accumulation Chart control

08 May 2023 / 6 minutes to read

As like a chart, the legend is also available for accumulation charts, which gives information about the points. By default, the legend will be placed on the right, if the width of the chart is high or will be placed on the bottom, if the height of the chart is high. Other customization features regarding the legend element are same as the chart legend. Here, the legend for a point can be collapsed by giving the empty string to the x value of the point.
