Legend with Anchors?

Recommended Posts

Wondering if there are any options to modify the legend information. All it displays currently is the color of the line. However, for a multi-series chart, if one were to print out the chart in black and white, these lines look very similar, so there is no way to tell what is what. I have partially solved this by changing the anchor points to be different for each line, but the legend still just shows the colors. I need to add the anchor point to be shown in the legend as well so a person can decipher what line is what when viewing a printed chart. Any ideas?

Hi Basundhara Ghosal,

 

 

 

The requirement is exactly the same as gigemboy described almost two years ago. That`s why I did not open a new post :)

 

 

 

In our case, we'd like to display the anchor and color used in a 2D data line in the legend box at the same time. Actually (I think) there is only the possibility to change the legendMarkerCircle (box or circle), but it is not possible to include the marker point selected for each line.

 

 

 

Thanks!

We are using the VB version and this has become a real issue for our users.  While we like the features and XML options a great amount, we need the legend to reflect the line type in the legend (dashes, round, square, triangle, line width, Etc) so that our users can print on plain white paper with black toner.

Corporate users seem to use black toner and not color and that has become a problem.  We are using the second sub-header to describe the legend (dashes=Sales, triangles=profits) but the legends should be visual because graphs are mostly visual.

We really need a better fix and we need it soon.
