I have searched through the archives and can't seem to find an answer to my question so here it goes...

I have a graph with a legend...surprise...I have no problems with the legend placement or data, I went to add a border to the legend and it overlaps the details. Is there a way to enlarge the legend area so this does not occur. I am somewhat surprised that this is happening.

I will attach an image of the problem..

Thanks

Hi,

Have you tried setLegendTextAutosize(true); or
setLegendTextAutofit(true); ? Would you also post the code creating the graph, please.

Regards,
Mika

Here is the code for the creation of the graph...
