Description yeray alonso 2015-02-18 05:29:45 EST 
When we have a very string in a series point/title to be shown in the legend, the legend isn't shown:

        Bar bar1 = new Bar(tChart1.getChart());
        bar1.fillSampleValues();
        for (int i=0; i<bar1.getCount(); i++) {
            if (i==2)
                //bar1.getLabels().setString(i, "This is a really really looooooooong string for the point index " + i);
                //bar1.getLabels().setString(i, "This is a really really looooooooong string for the point index " + i + ". This is so long because we want to test long strings in the legend");
                bar1.getLabels().setString(i, "This is a really really looooooooong string for the point index " + i + ". This is so long because we want to test how the chart looks when there are long strings in the legend");
            else
                bar1.getLabels().setString(i, "Point Index " + i);
        }
        
        tChart1.getLegend().setAlignment(LegendAlignment.BOTTOM);

The LegendScrollBar isn't yet in Java:

However, this tool doesn't fix it for VCL.

We could add a MaxWidth property. If the legend can't be drawn within this MaxWidth, the strings could be cut (with "..." at the end), we could automatically add a LegendScrollBar (when implemented), or we could multiline the legend.
