I am building a compound document which will contain 3 columns of reports and graphs. I am trying to minimize white space around graphs, and between the different reports/graphs.

The first graph on the doc is a pie chart. With setRect(getPieFrame(),new Rectangle(x,y,width,height)) I can move the pie chart around the graph rectangle. However setLegendRect(new Rectangle(x,y,w,h)) does not seem to affect the legend at all. I have tried extreme values for x, y, w and h and the legend does not change. I have read through the API guide, looked through the forum and searched the internet, but cannot determine what I am doing wrong. Below is the code for this pie chart. Any ideas, or pointing me to a source which provides a great explanation of graphics would be great appreciated.

Thank you,

Jim

Hi jim,

I have couple of observations.
Ur HAXIS and VAXIS values are too high i guess.
I gave default values 770 and 440 for the axes.

try giving
setLegendAutomatic(false);
and check whether you are able to move your legends.
thanks
Badri

Hi Badri,

I keep setting the HAXIS and VAXIS back to default values. When I switch between Design mode and Text Editor mode, HAXIS and VAXIS are changed to these high values.

Thank you for the suggestion on setLegendAutomatic(false). With this api and setLegendPosition(-1) - free floating, my legend moved!
