I’m always grateful for your kind and helpful answers.
Is it possible to arrange the 10 items like the example below?
1,2,3,4
5,6,7
8,9,10
Thank you! |

Hi Hong,
If you want to use a specific legend layout, I assume that means you know the layout is reasonable. For example, you know the size of the legend label that 4 of them can fit on the first line.
One way to achieve that layout is to use the grid layout for the legend box. See:
https://www.advsofteng.com/doc/cdcpp.htm#BaseChart.addLegend2.htm
You can set the legend box to have 4 columns. The first row will have 1, 2, 3, 4. The second row will have 5, 6, 7, 8. If you do not want the 8 in the second row, you may add an invisible entry for 8. For example, you can add a dummy dataset with no data, and the color is transparent and the name is a space character, so the cell for 8 will look empty. The final row will have three entries for 8, 9, 10.
Best Regards
