Alining chart legend horizontally at the bottom, so they are next to each other

[#1]

Hi,

I've read quite a few blogs on this subject (i.e. holding down Shift + Ctrl) this is fine for moving the legend to the bottom but it doesn't resolve the alining issue of having the items appearing next to each other. Everytime I try and do this my legend just turns into a dropdown list. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks Shyamal. Here goes.

Sorry, not in pie charts it seems: Multi-Line legend in pie chart

Someone should launch an Idea for that.

An workaround may be to disable the legend altogether, and create a silent legend or a listbox legend like in this great blog post: http://community.qlik.com/blogs/qlikviewdesignblog/2013/01/18/use-of-a-silent-legend.

Or create a simulation in a straight table. See the legend that hovers in the bar chart of Gysbert's example in Re: Bar Chart 2 Dimentions sorting (it looks like a chart legend but it is a separate object).

Thanks Peter. Looks like I'm going to have to go down the create your own legend route.

This is so helpful . . . especially the part about reset user sizing and reset user docking; I'd been adjusting the legend for so long it was probably a mess.
