改变Silverlight图表图例项布局

Question

我正在定制 Silverlight Toolkit 图表的布局。 我有两个要求：

1）将图例区域移动到图表底部（已解决）。

2）更改图例中元素的布局，使它们相互并排显示，例如 {legend 1}，{legend 2}，{legend 3}，而不是默认的列格式。

1）使用 ControlTemplate 很容易解决（见下文）。

2）我如何更改图例项的布局？ 是否可以通过进一步自定义图表的 ControlTemplate 来完成，还是需要为图例编写自己的 ControlTemplate？

图表本身的定义如下：

<chartingToolkit:Chart Name="chartCompareMain" 
                       Template="{StaticResource ChartLayoutLegendBottom}">
        <chartingToolkit:Chart.Axes>
             <chartingToolkit:DateTimeAxis Orientation="X" 
                        AxisLabelStyle="{StaticResource ChartDateFormat}">
             </chartingToolkit:DateTimeAxis>
             <chartingToolkit:LinearAxis  Orientation="Y"/>
        </chartingToolkit:Chart.Axes>
</chartingToolkit:Chart>    

将图例项移动的控件模板（基于默认模板）如下：

<ControlTemplate x:Key="ChartLayoutLegendBottom" TargetType="chartingToolkit:Chart">
        <Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}">
            <Grid>
                <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                    <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
                    <RowDefinition Height="*" />
                    <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
                </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                <dataviz:Title Grid.Row="0" Content="{TemplateBinding Title}" Style="{TemplateBinding TitleStyle}" />
                <Grid Grid.Row="1" Margin="0,15,0,15">
                    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
                    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <chartingprimitives:EdgePanel x:Name="ChartArea" Style="{TemplateBinding ChartAreaStyle}" Grid.Column="0" >
                        <Grid Canvas.ZIndex="-1" Style="{TemplateBinding PlotAreaStyle}" />
                        <Border Canvas.ZIndex="10" BorderBrush="#FF919191" BorderThickness="1" />
                    </chartingprimitives:EdgePanel>
                </Grid>
                <dataviz:Legend x:Name="Legend" Header="{TemplateBinding LegendTitle}" Style="{TemplateBinding LegendStyle}" Grid.Row="2"/>
            </Grid>
        </Border>
    </ControlTemplate>

为了完整起见，这里是LegendStyle="{StaticResource BottomLegendLayout}"（一个非常有用的工具来找出样式是Silverlight默认样式浏览器）

        <Style x:Name="BottomLegendLayout" TargetType="dataviz:Legend">
        <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Black" />
        <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1" />
        <Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="False" />
        <Setter Property="ItemContainerStyle">
            <Setter.Value>
                <Style TargetType="chartingToolkit:LegendItem" >
                    <Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="False" />
                    <Setter Property="Template">
                        <Setter.Value>
                            <ControlTemplate TargetType="chartingToolkit:LegendItem">
                                <Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}">
                                    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="2,2,5,2"> 
                                        <Rectangle Width="8" Height="8" Fill="{Binding Background}" Stroke="{Binding BorderBrush}" StrokeThickness="1" Margin="0,0,3,0" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
                                        <dataviz:Title Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"  VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
                                    </StackPanel>
                                </Border>
                            </ControlTemplate>
                        </Setter.Value>
                    </Setter>

        <Setter Property="TitleStyle">
            <Setter.Value>
                <Style TargetType="dataviz:Title">
                    <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,5,0,10" />
                    <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold" />
                    <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center" />
                </Style>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
        <Setter Property="ItemsPanel"> <!-- change layout container for legend items to be horizonal -->
            <Setter.Value>
                <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Center"/>
                </ItemsPanelTemplate>

        <Setter Property="Template">

                <ControlTemplate TargetType="dataviz:Legend">
                    <!--  This is the border around the legend area.
                    <Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Padding="2">
                    -->
                        <Grid>
                            <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                                <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
                                <RowDefinition />
                            </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                            <!-- Uncomment the next line to show a grid title. -->
                            <!--<dataviz:Title Grid.Row="0" x:Name="HeaderContent" Content="{TemplateBinding Header}" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding HeaderTemplate}" Style="{TemplateBinding TitleStyle}"/>-->

            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>

将以下内容添加到图表中将解决问题（来自这里）：

<chartingToolkit:Chart.LegendStyle>
    <Style TargetType="dataviz:Legend">
        <Setter Property="ItemsPanel">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"/>
                </ItemsPanelTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>
</chartingToolkit:Chart.LegendStyle>

你怎么知道有一个StackPanel？我在哪里可以找到一些关于图表如何制作的参考资料？ - Kamil

上面的问题已经有7年以上的时间了...我真的不记得了。你可以查看http://silverlight.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest获取源代码。这可能会有所帮助。 - Ryan
