Legend layout manipulation with not supported ?

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

 

 

I'm trying to manipulate the layout of the legend, as I have long legend category descriptions.

 

I'd like to insert

after each legend entry, as can be done for tooltips, datalabels.

 

However, this doesn't seem to work.

 

Is there some way to have more control over the layout (alignment, line breaks, etc) of the legend ?

 

I'm using 'dataURL'.

 

Chart is a multiseries stacked chart.

 

 

 

 

 

kind regards,

 

 

 

Steve

Steve,

I'm afraid you cannot add line breaks in the legend. You can just control it's font and effect (shadow, bevel, glow etc.) properties.

Any plans to add more control to the legend in the near future ?

I find the layout of the legend as it is now rather cluttered, especially when you're tracking many different items, it would be nicer if the legend could be layed out in a tabular way... it's the only thing that bothers me in this otherwise great tool

kind regards,

Steve

I'm with Steve on this one.

 

My legend names are pretty long, and look terrible by default.

 

What would be nice is a control for legendJustification (left | center | right | full), then I could specify how I wanted each seriesName to layout in the legend.

Thanks for committing to this enhancement. More control over layout within the legend, especially the "bottom" positioned legends, would be most appreciated. I would also like to have control over the size of the block character, to make it a wider rectangle for example.

And a way to remove the block colour in the legend too please! Would be handy for a project i'm doing, although i'm using the SSgrid to do that with the block white.
