Hi Laxman,

If you are using ChartDirector Ver 5.0, you may get the size of your legend box, and then adjust your plot area size so that it cannot overlap with the legend box.

For example (in VB/VBScript):

Set c = cd.XYChart(.........)
Call c.setPlotArea(..............) 'default plot area position

...... create chart as usual and enter all data .......

'get legend box size
Set legendBox = c.layoutLegend()
height = legendBox.getHeight()
width = legendBox.getWidth()

.... use setPlotArea to change plot area size based on the legend box size .........

Hope this can help.
