Hi,

In presentation tab there is an option of limit legend where in you can input the no of characters required.

else you can reduce the font size of the legend. You can find the font setting in the same tab below show legend.

I hope this is what you are looking for.

Hi Deepak,

Thanks for your reply! But this is not exactly the one I am looking for!

I wanted to display the legent horizontally instead of showing it vertically.

For eg:

At present the legend is show like this:

. ABC

. DEF

. GHI

I want to show like this

. ABC . DEF . GHI

How it is understandable now.

hi,

I got you point. I think its pretty easy. Select the chart and then Press Shift + Ctr . Yonu might see a red box.

Reduce the size of the legend to one label i. it e if it has 3 labels/legends reduce the height to display one, Then drag it below the X axis.

I was able to achieve the same.

Hi Deepak,

I just checked it now and it works. Thanks!

I worked just by dragging and dropping it and altering the height.

But I am confused what do you want to say here

I can see what you are doing here and I have tried reshaping the box, but in a line chart with around 10 lines, when I shrink the box, the list of legend items is simply cropped. Are there any special property settings to enable this?

Hi,

I understood it but when I am trying it, It is not working. I reduce the height then it is showing me only 1 lagend and not showing rest of lagends. Please any one help me regarding this.

Hi Sagar,

Any idea how to get it solved for pie charts.

I'm struggling to get the legend in 2 or 3 horizontal lines.
