The Legend to obtain

To produce a Legend as per the attachment. 

Presently, code such as the following:

procedure TForm1.InitializeChart;
var t : Integer;
begin
   Chart1.View3D:=false;
   for t:=0 to 5 do
    Chart1.AddSeries(TLineSeries).FillSampleValues;

   With Chart1.Legend do
   begin
    ResizeChart:=false;
    Alignment:=laTop;
    CustomPosition:=true;
    Top:=100;
    Left:=100;
   end;
end;

produces a Legend whose number of columns cannot be specified programmatically.
