Hi
How can we control the space between the lables in legend box
Thanks

Nag,

I'm assuming you are asking about legends displayed with WebFOCUS graphs? What version of WebFOCUS are you using?

There are many styling commands that are available and can be used to alter the way graphs are displayed, including the graph legend. These commands allow you to specify graph/legend properties such as where the legend is displayed in relation to the graph, the font size, the dimensions the legend "box", etc.).

The best advice I can give is to download the "WebFOCUS Graphics" manual for the specific release of WebFOCUS you are using. This manual is invaluable when specific styling is required and the options are not available in the GUI. Search for Legend Properties for a list of options that will affect the legend display.

Depending on what version of WebFOCUS you are using, these options may be available through the Graph Assist tool.

Here is an example of a graph procedure with the graph-specific styling commands highlighed. These are also sometimes referred to graph API commands.

GRAPH FILE CAR
SUM CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST
CAR.BODY.DEALER_COST
ACROSS CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH VBAR
ON GRAPH SET 3D OFF
ON GRAPH SET BARNUMB OFF
ON GRAPH SET GRID ON
ON GRAPH SET GRAPHEDIT SERVER
ON GRAPH SET VZERO ON
-* The following GRAPHSTYLE settings are the ones documented in the WebFOCUS Graphics manual.
-* They are used to alter the graph display properties.
ON GRAPH SET GRAPHSTYLE *
setSeriesType(0,1);
setSeriesType(1,1);
setUseSeriesShapes(false);
setConnectLineMarkers(false);
setConnectScatterMarkers(false);
setO1LabelDisplay(true);
setO1AxisSide(0);
setO1MajorGridDisplay(true);
setO1MajorGridStyle(0);
setO1MinorGridDisplay(false);
setY1LabelDisplay(true);
setY1AxisSide(0);
setTextFormatPreset(getY1Label(),1);
setY1MajorGridDisplay(true);
setY1MajorGridStyle(0);
setY1MinorGridDisplay(false);
-* These commands are specifically applied to the graph legend styling.
setFillColor(getLegendText(),new Color(25,25,112));
setFontSize(getLegendText(),10);
setFontSizeAbsolute(getLegendText(),true);
setPlaceResize(getLegendText(),0);
setTextRotation(getLegendText(),0);
setPlaceRotate(getLegendText(),0);
setTextJustHoriz(getLegendText(),1);
setPlaceAlign(getLegendText(),0);
setTextWrap(getLegendText(),true);
setPlaceWordWrap(getLegendText(),0);
setFontSize(getO1Label(),12);
setFontSizeAbsolute(getO1Label(),true);
setPlace(true);
ENDSTYLE
END

Hope this helps!

Hi,
Iam using 7.1 version and iam working for Pie graphs.
I need to control the space between the labels in the legend box,
In some casses iam getting the space between labels is vary high in case of less number of lables(5)
Insome casses space is vary low if the number of labels are high(12)

here is the example iam trying to do
GRAPH FILE CAR
SUM WEIGHT AS ''
ACROSS CAR AS ''
-*WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 10
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH PIE
ON GRAPH SET GRAPHEDIT SERVER
ON GRAPH SET BARNUMB OFF
ON GRAPH SET 3D OFF
ON GRAPH SET VZERO ON
ON GRAPH SET GRID OFF
ON GRAPH SET VAXIS 300
ON GRAPH SET HAXIS 300
ON GRAPH PCHOLD FORMAT PNG
ON GRAPH SET GRAPHSTYLE *
setLegendMarkersPerRow(1);
setTextFormatPattern(getY1Label(),"#");
setLegendTextAutofit(false);
setLegendAutomatic(false);
setPlaceResize(getLegendArea(),false)
setRect(getLegendArea(), new Rectangle(2500, -9500, 9000, 21000));
setMarkerDisplay(false);
setConnectLineMarkers(false);
setConnectScatterMarkers(false);
setO1LabelDisplay(true);
setO1AxisSide(0);
setO1MajorGridDisplay(false);
setO1MinorGridDisplay(false);
setAxisAssignment(0,0);
setY1LabelDisplay(true);
setY1AxisSide(0);
setY1MajorGridDisplay(false);
setY1MinorGridDisplay(false);
setTextFormatPreset(getY1Label(),1);
setPieFeelerTextDisplay(2);
setPieLabelDisplay(1);
setTextFormatPreset(getPieSliceLabel(),2);
setLegendDisplay(true);
setTextJustHoriz(getLegendText(),0);
setFontSizeAbsolute(getLegendText(),true);
setFontSize(getLegendText(),10);
setFontSizeAbsolute(getY1Title(),true);
setFontSizeAbsolute(getY1Label(),true);
setFontSizeAbsolute(getY2Title(),true);
setFontSizeAbsolute(getY2Label(),true);
setFontSizeAbsolute(getO1Title(),true);
setFontName(getO1Label(),"Dialog");
setFontSizeAbsolute(getO1Label(),true);
setPlace(false);
ENDSTYLE

The space between Audi and BMW lables should controle according to the our requirement.

Thanks
