Lesson 4 - Adding and Editing a Legend

Legends provide information for interpreting a graph. You can add a legend for most plot types. Typically, legends are linked to the graph so that any changes made to the graph are automatically updated in the legend. The legend features, such as font and legend placement, can be customized.

To add a legend:

  1. Select the entire graph or select any part of the graph by clicking on an object in the graph, such as Y Axis 1 or Site_B.
  2. Click the Graph Tools | Add to Graph | Legend command. A legend with similar to the image below will appear with default values.
  3. Drag the legend to any position you want.
