You can specify whether to display a legend or an information box for a chart.

Legend

A legend contains a list of the variables appearing in the chart and an example of their appearance. This information allows the data from each variable to be identified in the chart. The colors shown are set using the Color feature, and the color values are automatically assigned.

You can hide/show the legend box in both the worksheet and dashboard widget. Additionally, you can set the position of the legend box, such as top, left, bottom, or right, around the visualization. You can also choose to position the legend at the top or bottom to arrange legend items on a table. In this way, you can either arrange legend items in a table layout or a free-flow layout, depending on the content.

Note

  • The tabular view arrangement is applicable for the top and bottom positions only. 

  • In worksheets and dashboards, a square icon () is displayed as the default legend, whereas curve and line charts use the legend icon (). 

To display the legend, perform the following steps: 

  1. From the Toolbox, choose Workbooks, then select a workbook and worksheet.

  2. In the Properties pane, choose Worksheet. The options to specify the legend settings are displayed.

  3. Select the color palette from the Chart Color Palette list. 

  4. Select the position of the legends that you want to apply. 

  5. Select the Legend Arrangement as  Free flow or in a tabular format. 

  6. Click Save.

To hide or collapse the legend properties, click the Actions menu ( ⋮ ) and select Hide to hide it or Collapse to collapse it. Click the menu again and click Expand to restore it.
