This is why you may wish to alter the legend layout strategy or in other words the way the legend expands when new items are added. The ExpandMode property of the legend controls this. The following table list the possible strategies:

ENLegendExpandMode	Description
RowsOnly	The legend expands by rows only. The legend has one column.
ColsOnly	The legend expands by columns only. The legend has one row.
RowsFixed	Yhe legend has a fixed number of rows and expands in columns.
ColsFixed	The legend has a fixed number of columns and expands in rows.

C#	Copy Code
legend.ExpandMode = ENLegendExpandMode.RowsFixed; legend.RowCount = 4;

Copy Code

legend.ExpandMode = ENLegendExpandMode.RowsFixed;

legend.RowCount = 4;
