Smart Legend

Smart legend is another way of showing list type legend with responsiveness and readability, when the palette has more number of items. You can enable this smart legend by using the enableSmartLegend property when the palette type is set to Fixed.

In smart legend, you can change the display type of legend labels by using the labelDisplayType property.

The following are the legend label display types:

All: Displays all labels in the legend.
Edge: Displays the legend labels only at extreme ends.
None: None of the labels are displayed. The tooltip will appear for this type of label display when hovering over the legend item.
