How can a display a legend in a chart in a MigraDoc document.
In pdfsharp I used chart.legend
In migraDoc I tried to use
Legend legend = chart.RightArea.AddLegend();
to add a legend on the right of a Bar2D chart type.

but then I get the following error:
System.NullReferenceException was unhandled by user code
Message="Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
Source="MigraDoc.Rendering"
StackTrace:
at MigraDoc.Rendering.TopDownFormatter.FormatOnAreas(XGraphics gfx, Boolean topLevel) in D:\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\MigraDocLite\MigraDoc.Rendering\MigraDoc.Rendering\TopDownFormatter.cs:line 80
at MigraDoc.Rendering.FormattedTextArea.Format(XGraphics gfx) in D:\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\MigraDocLite\MigraDoc.Rendering\MigraDoc.Rendering\FormattedTextArea.cs:line 57
......
Any suggestions on how I can get a legend to appear.

Many thanks

Ok here's what I did (and it seems to work) :

in MigraDocLite\MigraDoc.Rendering\MigraDoc.Rendering\TopDownFormatter.cs

Inside public void FormatOnAreas(XGraphics gfx, bool topLevel)

Change

Code:
        DocumentObject docObj = this.elements[idx];
        Renderer renderer = Renderer.Create(gfx, this.documentRenderer, docObj, this.areaProvider.AreaFieldInfos);               
        renderer.MaxElementHeight = maxHeight;

        if (topLevel && this.documentRenderer.HasPrepareDocumentProgress)
        {
          this.documentRenderer.OnPrepareDocumentProgress(this.documentRenderer.ProgressCompleted + idx + 1,
            this.documentRenderer.ProgressMaximum);
        }

        // "Slightly hacked" for legends: they are rendered as part of the chart.
        // So they are skipped here.
        if (renderer == null)
        {
          ready = idx == this.elements.Count - 1;
          if (ready)
            this.areaProvider.StoreRenderInfos(renderInfos);
          ++idx;
          continue;
        }


to

Code:
        DocumentObject docObj = this.elements[idx];
        Renderer renderer = Renderer.Create(gfx, this.documentRenderer, docObj, this.areaProvider.AreaFieldInfos);               

        if (topLevel && this.documentRenderer.HasPrepareDocumentProgress)
        {
          this.documentRenderer.OnPrepareDocumentProgress(this.documentRenderer.ProgressCompleted + idx + 1,
            this.documentRenderer.ProgressMaximum);
        }

        // "Slightly hacked" for legends: they are rendered as part of the chart.
        // So they are skipped here.
        if (renderer == null)
        {
          ready = idx == this.elements.Count - 1;
          if (ready)
            this.areaProvider.StoreRenderInfos(renderInfos);
          ++idx;
          continue;
        }
        renderer.MaxElementHeight = maxHeight;


(I moved the renderer.MaxElementHeight = maxHeight ...)

Can someone help me and show me an example how to add values to the legend?

I always get an error in ObjectModelMeta.SetValue because there is no value 'open' in

Code:
 ValueDescriptor vd = this.vds[name];
      if (vd == null)
        throw new ArgumentException(DomSR.InvalidValueName(name));


this is my try to create this legend:

Code:
Legend bsnLegend = chartRequests.RightArea.AddLegend();
            bsnLegend.SetValue("open", seriesOpen);


I haven't found any other entry in the forum and now used legend in the example.

Please help!

Thanks!

You can only set the members of a Legend (Format or Style).

I never used the charts so I have no clue what they do - but I presume the contents of the Legend comes automatically from the Series.
