Hi All, not sure if this is even possible.

I have a graph with 2 lines on it, planned and actual. The colors are the same for each line, but the planned data has a dashed line to distinguish it. This is working fine. The problem is the legend for both lines is a square that is the same color for each so their is no way to tell which line is which. I would like to update the planned legend shape to be a dashed line. I can get the legend markers to be different shapes with
setUseSeriesShapes(true);
setNullLegendMarkerShapesAsSquares(false);
but none of the shapes that I have found are quite right.

Thanks for the help,
Cody

Hi Cody,

From our expert:

This is possible using the API code below (can be don in AGA) must select line series markers and turn off regular markers:

setUseSeriesShapes(true);
setMarkerSizeDefault(50);
setTransparentBorderColor(getChartBackground(),true);
setPlace(true);
setLineStyleLegendMarkers(1);
setMarkerShape(getSeries(0),0);
setLineBasicStrokeType(getSeries(0),15);
setMarkerShape(getSeries(1),0);


Cheers,

Kerry

Hi cody,

Use the API,
setUseSeriesShapes(true);

setLineStyleLegendMarkers(1);

This API should make the legend to be a dashed line.

Cheers
Badri
