Specifying the legend appearance

The legend provides information that helps the viewer identify what is represented in a visualization. You can specify the position of the legend within the visualization and what items it should include.

Procedure

  1. Right-click the visualization, and select Properties in the opened menu.
    The Properties pop-over is shown.
  2. Click Legend.
    The Legend section is shown.
  3. Beneath Position, select Right to display the legend at the upper right of the visualization, or Left to display it at the upper left of the visualization.
  4. Beneath Max number of values per legend item enter a number to specify how many values you want to show per legend item, or use the arrows to increase or decrease that number.
  5. Beneath Display the following legend items, select the check boxes for the items you want to show, and clear the check boxes for items that should be removed.
    Some selected items are visible only when they are used.
    Tip: For some items, you can specify in detail what to display. Click an item in the Legend section, and select and clear the Show title and Show axis selector check boxes beneath Settings for selected legend item to get different display options. Examples are shown below:

    By selecting and clearing the Show values horizontally checkbox, you can for some items decide to show their values horizontally at the top or the bottom of the visualization or to keep them in the vertical legend. To show the item values horizontally, you can also click this icon next to the item title.

    This is possible, for example, for the items Color by or Shape by.
