How to Change the Legend Position in .NET MAUI Sunburst Chart?

In this article, we’ll learn how to configure and customize the position of the legend in the .NET MAUI Sunburst Chart. The article provides step-by-step instructions, relevant code examples, and additional settings to achieve the desired legend position.

Step 1: Initialize the SfSunburstChart with its ItemsSource bound to the data from the ViewModel, and define the hierarchical levels.

<chart:SfSunburstChart ItemsSource="{Binding DataSource}" 
                       ValueMemberPath="EmployeesCount">

       <chart:SfSunburstChart.BindingContext>
           <local:ViewModel/>
       </chart:SfSunburstChart.BindingContext>

       <chart:SfSunburstChart.Levels>
           <chart:SunburstHierarchicalLevel GroupMemberPath="Country"/>
           <chart:SunburstHierarchicalLevel GroupMemberPath="JobDescription"/>
           <chart:SunburstHierarchicalLevel GroupMemberPath="JobGroup"/>
           <chart:SunburstHierarchicalLevel GroupMemberPath="JobRole"/>
       </chart:SfSunburstChart.Levels>

</chart:SfSunburstChart> 

Step 2: Use the Legend property to enable and display the Sunburst chart legend.

<chart:SfSunburstChart>
   . . .
       <chart:SfSunburstChart.Legend>
           <chart:SunburstLegend/>
       </chart:SfSunburstChart.Legend>
   . . .
</chart:SfSunburstChart> 

Step 3: Use the Placement property of the SunburstLegend to define the legend’s position. You can set it to Top, Bottom, Left, or Right.

<chart:SfSunburstChart.Legend>
   <chart:SunburstLegend Placement="Bottom"/>
</chart:SfSunburstChart.Legend>
