Toggle On/Off Legend display and set legend display content characteristics.

 

Lines

***

Position

 

Sets the default display position or enables custom positioning of the Legend. The chart will change the shape of the legend to fit the location. If the legend is set to the side (left or right) of the chart the contents of the legend, by default, sit as a list from top to bottom. If the Legend sits below or above the chart then the Legend contents are placed side by side.

 

Symbols

 

Size and formatting of the legend symbols.

 

Title

 

Defines the characteristics for the legend title and legend title box.

 

Border

 

You may define the border independently or in conjunction with the bevel properties. Mixing bevel and border and manipulating width gives almost any combination of 3D effects.

 

Text

 

Text characteristics for the legend text contents.

 

Gradient

 

Enable/disable a background gradient in the legend box.

 

Shadow

 

Adds a shadow to the legend border.

 

Emboss

 

Adds a embossed effect to the legend border.

 

Picture

 

An image can be used for the background to the legend box instead of a using colours. By applying filters to the image, it can be modified so as to get the best result.
