Chart / AutoLayout

To test the AutoLayout capabilities on this demo:
  • AutoLayout is enabled by default -- plotArea, legend, and axis item labels are fully visible and do not overlap with one another.
  • You can hide the legend via the "Toggle Legend Visibility" button -- note how AutoLayout ensures optimal utilization of the whole chart surface so no blank space is left for the legend original position.
  • You can use the "Toggle AutoLayout" button to observe the different chart appearance with AutoLayout enabled / disabled.

RadControls for Silverlight


  • The AutoLayout functionality instructs the control to perform out-of-the-box layout arrangement that provides optimal utilization of the whole chart area and ensures that all chart elements are fully readable and do not overlap with one another.
