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.
