Remarks
The LegendItem class represents a legend item, which can be either a "default" or "custom" item:
- "Default" legend items are automatically inserted into the legend for either data series or data points (default entries for pie and doughnut charts represent the plotted data points, while entries for all other chart types represent the plotted series). These legend entries by default use the data point or series color for the symbol color, and the name of the series or data point for the legend item text.
- "Custom" legend items have user-defined text, symbol color, etc., and unlike the default entries are not connected with the plotted data. These custom legend items can be added at either design-time or run-time using the Legend object's CustomItems property.
Legend symbols can be rectangles, lines or markers, depending on the Style property setting of a LegendItem object.
The text of a custom legend item is determined by the Name property.
