Adjusting Legend Text Padding

For more precise control over the spacing between the legend markers and the text, the Series.LegendItem.Style.Padding property offers a flexible solution. By applying negative padding, you can move the legend text closer to the markers. The Padding property affects the space around the legend text, allowing for fine-tuning of its position relative to the legend markers.
