* When disabled, the chart appears without a legend, presenting a cleaner look.

### **Position**

* The legend can be placed in various positions:
  * **Top** **Centre** – Top of the visual component and centrally aligned.
  * **Bottom** **Centre** – Bottom of the visual component and centrally aligned.
  * **Left Centre** – Left of the visual component and centrally aligned.
  * **Right** **Centre** – Right of the visual component and centrally aligned.

### Gap

The Gap property can be used to control the spacing between the legend. It can be provided in pixels.

### Label Style

* The **font type, size, and color** of the Legend Label can be applied.
* Text formatting options like **bold, italics, and underline** can be applied to the legend.
