How to align the chart legend items in .NET MAUI Circular Chart?

The Syncfusion® .NET MAUI Circular Chart provides versatile options for customizing the alignment of legend items, ensuring that charts are not only informative but also aesthetically pleasing.

This article demonstrates how to align legend items based on the desired position using the ItemsLayout property in the ChartLegend class and how to specify the maximum size of the legend by overriding the GetMaximumSizeCoefficient method.

Aligning Legend Items by Wrap
Use the FlexLayout to wrap legend items, which is useful when handling numerous legend items that would otherwise require scrolling.

XAML

<chart:SfCircularChart>
    <chart:SfCircularChart.Legend>
      <local:LegendExt Placement="Bottom">
            <local:LegendExt.ItemsLayout>
                <FlexLayout WidthRequest="600" Wrap="Wrap" HorizontalOptions="Start"/>
            </local:LegendExt.ItemsLayout>
      </local:LegendExt>
    </chart:SfCircularChart.Legend>
</chart:SfCircularChart>

C#

public class LegendExt : ChartLegend
{
    protected override double GetMaximumSizeCoefficient()
    {
            return 1;
    }
}

Output

Aligning Legend Items in Rows and Columns:
For a more structured layout at the bottom of the chart area, use UniformItemsLayout to arrange legend items in rows and columns.

XAML

<chart:SfCircularChart>
    <chart:SfCircularChart.Legend>
          <local:LegendExt1  Placement="Bottom">
               <local:LegendExt1.ItemsLayout>
                   <local:UniformLayouts MaxRows="12" MaxColumns="4" WidthRequest="600"  />
               </local:LegendExt1.ItemsLayout>
                ...
                ...
          </local:LegendExt1>
    </chart:SfCircularChart.Legend>
</chart:SfCircularChart>

C#

public class LegendExt : ChartLegend
{
    protected override double GetMaximumSizeCoefficient()
    {
            return 1;
    }
}
