Working with Legends

Mechanical results are accompanied by legends. The properties that affect the behavior and appearance of a legend are referred to as legend settings. Legend settings can be either global (common to all results) or result-specific.

You can use legend settings objects to perform such operations as:

  • Modifying the behavior and appearance of a legend shown on the screen

  • Constructing an independent legend settings object and apply it to the current result

  • Copying legend settings from one result object and apply it to another result
