legend Object

The chart legend configuration options.

The colors assigned to individual points are not reflected in the legend for series-based charts (e.g. column, line, bar). The legend items are tied to the series, not to individual points, except in cases like pie or donut charts where each point has a dedicated legend item.

Example - configure the chart legend

Open In Dojo
<div id="chart"></div>
<script>
$("#chart").kendoChart({
  legend: {
    background: "green",
    position: "left",
    labels: {
      font: "20px sans-serif",
      color: "red"
    }
  },
  series: [
    { name: "Series 1", data: [1, 2, 3] },
    { name: "Series 2", data: [3, 4, 5] }
  ]
});
</script>
