How to change the legend icon shape?

This article explains how to change the legend icon shape in React Chart.

Customize the legend icon shape

You can change the shape of the legend icon by using the legendShape property in the series. By default, the shape of the legend icon depends on the type of the series used in the chart.

The legendShape property includes the following shapes:

• Circle
• Rectangle
• Triangle
• Diamond
• Cross
• HorizontalLine
• VerticalLine
• Pentagon
• InvertedTriangle
• SeriesType
• Image

In the code example below, the shape of the legend has been changed to a circle, a inverted triangle, and a series type.

Index.js

import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
import * as React from 'react';
import { ChartComponent, SeriesCollectionDirective, SeriesDirective, Inject, Legend, Category, ColumnSeries, Highlight
   } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';
   
const Column = () => {
return (
   <ChartComponent
     id="charts"
     legendSettings={{ enableHighlight: true, position: 'Top' }}
   >
     <Inject services={[ColumnSeries, Legend, Category, Highlight]} />
     <SeriesCollectionDirective>
       <SeriesDirective
         dataSource={data1}
         xName="x"
         columnSpacing={0.1}
         yName="y"
         name="Gold"
         type="Column"
         legendShape="Circle"
       />
       <SeriesDirective
         dataSource={data2}
         xName="x"
         columnSpacing={0.1}
         yName="y"
         name="Silver"
         type="Column"
         legendShape="SeriesType"
       />
       <SeriesDirective
         dataSource={data3}
         xName="x"
         columnSpacing={0.1}
         yName="y"
         name="Bronze"
         type="Column"
         legendShape="InvertedTriangle"
       />
     </SeriesCollectionDirective>
   </ChartComponent>
 );
};
export default Column;

const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('sample'));
root.render(<Column />);
