  Title for the legend
Posted by Andreas Eriksson on Mar-29-2011 21:49

Hi!

Two questions:


Question1:
Is it possible to get a title just over the legend?
Like this:

Outcomes:
Outcome1   Outcome2   Outcome3



Question2:
Is it possible to change the symbols for the legends?
Im using addLineLayer(...) for getting regular lyaers. The default symbol for the layers in the legend seems to be squares with a black border.
Is it possible to change this? I want to have circles with NO borders.


Thank you for a very nice library for Java.

Best regards
//Andreas

Hi Andreas,

(1) Yes. Just add the text on top of the legend. For example:

c.addLegend(50, 30, false); //legend box is at (50, 30)

//add the text bottom left aligned to (50, 30)
c.addText(50, 30, "Outcomes", "Arial Bold", 10, 0x000000, Chart.BottomLeft);

(2) To insert an legend entry with a symbol, you may disable default legend entry for the bar layer, and add another empty scatter layer with the symbol you want. For example:

myBarLayer.setLegendOrder(Chart.NoLegend);
c.addScatterLayer(null, null, "ABC XYZ", Chart.CircleShape, 13, 0xff3333, 0xff3333);

Hope this can help.

Regards
Peter Kwan
