Hello all,

I’m facing an issue with controlling the legend in the XY Chart component in Ignition Perspective. The default legend allows me to show/hide bars properly. However, when I try to control the visibility using the `visible` property, it only hides the series but leaves an empty space instead of disabling it like the default legend does.

Additionally, when I click on the **default legend** to hide a series, the change is not reflected in the `visible` property. I need a way to programmatically control this behavior while ensuring the legend and series visibility stay in sync.

Has anyone found a solution for this?

Thanks in advance 🙂!
