[System.ComponentModel.Description("The expand strategy of the legend.")]
public LegendExpandMode ExpandMode {get; set;}

Remarks

When you add new items to the NLegendData object the legend may become too long to display in the control window or image. 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.

Example

The following example instructs the legend to expand to a limited number of rows.

legend.Data.ExpandMode = ExpandMode.RowsFixed;
legend.Data.RowCount = 4;
