Legend Entry¶
The Legend Entry component replicates legend-like appearance and behavior outside charts, combining a shape and text to create visual indicators for data series.
Configuration¶
Configure the component with these options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Internal identifier for the legend entry |
| Show Text | Toggle visibility of the text label |
| Display Text Override | Custom text to override default display |
| Color Map | Color scheme for the shape element |
Shape and text styling options provide independent control over visual appearance:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Shape Type | Select shape format (circle, square, etc.) |
| Shape Size | Adjust shape dimensions (e.g., 10px, 20px) |
| Gap | Define spacing between shape and text |
| Shape Alignment | Control shape positioning relative to text |
Text styling includes font properties, colors, and spacing controls.
Use Cases¶
- Table as chart legend - embed colored markers within table cells that correspond to chart series, making the table function as a legend
- Custom chart legends - create manual legends for charts that require customized legend appearance
Tips¶
- Use Color Map to maintain consistency with chart color schemes
- Place multiple Legend Entry components together to create complete custom legends
- Toggle Show Text off for shape-only indicators
- Apply Display Text Override for custom labeling that differs from the name
