Transparent Legend?

Is there a way to make the background of the legend to be transparent?

Yes, set the Legend.BackColor property to Color.Transparent. You can do this at design-time by going to the Web tab in the drop-down editor of the BackColor property and selecting Transparent.

Hello Elton,

That works well, however, our users like the legend to be on the graph.  Can I make the legend transparent on the scattergraph?

[Elton Wells]

Yes. In addition to setting the Legend.BackColor property to Color.Transparent, position the legend where you want it to appear on top of the graph, and then either in the form's constructor or Load event, set the parent of the legend to be the graph. For example:

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnLoad(e);
 
    legend.Parent = graph;
}

Hello,

my problem is that the legend name is always on top of the graph line. The graph line should be always on top and the name in the back.

Also is always the identification line in the legend to see how to switch this off?

I think there is no solution for that problem, but maybe yes.........
