The Plot setting is available only when creating or modifying a user-defined legend (not the default legends). Select from a list of objects for the legend to act on.
The Title Mode setting has the following options:
Option | Description |
---|---|
|
Omits the title. |
|
Sets the title to the name of the variable mapped by the legend. |
|
|
|
Enables you to specify a custom title. |
The Title field is available only after
the User Specified
option has been selected.
This setting enters a custom title.
Clearing the Show Legend Units check box will hide the legend units. By default, the check box is selected, and so units are displayed.
Note: The legend will always display Temperature in absolute units: if C or K are selected as temperature units, the legend's data will be displayed in K; if F or R are selected, the legend's data will be displayed in R. For details, see Function Calculator.
Selecting Vertical or Horizontal will display the legend vertically or horizontally in the viewer.
The X Justification setting has the following options:
Option | Description |
---|---|
|
Enables you to specify a custom X location using the Position fields. |
|
Places the legend on the left side of the viewer. |
|
Places the legend in the center of the viewer. |
|
Places the legend on the right side of the viewer. |
The Y Justification setting has the following options:
Option | Description |
---|---|
|
Enables you to specify a custom Y location using the Position fields. |
|
Places the legend at the top of the viewer. |
|
Places the legend in the center of the viewer. |
|
Places the legend at the bottom of the viewer. |
The Position fields specify a custom point
at which to position the legend. This setting is available after the None
option is selected for the X and/or Y Justification settings. The values
entered are fractions of the screen width/height for x and y respectively.
For example, 0.2
for the X value would place
the legend 1/5 across the screen from the left. A value of 0.2
for the Y direction would place the legend 1/5
up from the bottom of the viewer. The placement uses the bottom left
corner of the legend as a reference.
