Legend & Titles in FlexChart

Setting the Legend Title & Position

Use the legend's properties to customize the appearance of the chart legend.

• position: Determines whether and where the legend appears in relation to the plot area. The value should be 'Left', 'Right', 'Top', 'Bottom', or 'None'.
• title: The title text for the legend.
• titleAlign: Determines the align value of the legend title. The value should be 'left', 'center' or 'right'.

To hide the legend, set its position to 'None'.

Setting the Header, Footer & Axis Titles

Add some text labels to the chart by setting the header, footer and axis titles.

import * as chart from '@grapecity/wijmo.chart';

var myChart = new chart.FlexChart('#myChart');
myChart.header = 'Sample Chart';
myChart.footer = 'copyright (c) ComponentOne';
myChart.axisX.title = 'country';
myChart.axisY.title = 'amount';

Styling the Legend & Titles by CSS

You can style the legend and titles using CSS. The CSS example below shows the rules used to customize the appearance of the legend and titles. Notice that these are SVG elements, so you have to use CSS attributes such as "fill" instead of "color."

Header, Footer & Axis Titles Example:

/* custom color for all titles */
.wj-flexchart .wj-title {
  fill: #42357C;
}

/* custom size/weight for header */
.wj-flexchart .wj-header .wj-title {
  font-size: 120%;
  font-weight: bold;
}

/* custom size/weight for footer */
.wj-flexchart .wj-footer .wj-title {
  font-size: 90%;
  font-weight: bold;
}

/* custom style for axis-x/y titles */
.wj-flexchart .wj-axis-x .wj-title,
.wj-flexchart .wj-axis-y .wj-title{
  font-size: 75%;
  font-style: normal;
  opacity: .5;
}

Legend Example:

/* custom color for legend box */
.wj-flexchart .wj-legend > rect {
  fill: #003000;
}

/* custom color for legend labels */
.wj-flexchart .wj-legend .wj-label {
  fill: white;
  opacity: .9;
  font-size: 80%;
  font-style: italic;
}
