LegendBox.addKey

ChartDirector 7.1 (.NET Edition)

Usage

`[C#]`	`public void addKey(string text, int color [, int lineWidth [, DrawArea drawarea ]]);`
`[VB]`	`Public Sub addKey(text As String, color As Integer [, lineWidth As Integer [, drawarea As DrawArea ]])`

Description

Adds a custom entry to the legend box.

This method adds an entry within a legend entry priority of 1 (followed by 2, 3, 4, ... for repeated calls). This has higher priority than entries added automatically by ChartDirector for representing data sets. As a result, by default, the custom entry will appear before the automatic entries.

To control the order of the custom entry relative to the automatic entries, use LegendBox.addKey2.

See LegendBox for more information on legend entry priority system.
