TUFLOW Viewer - Customising The Plot Legend

Tool Description

The plot legend can be re-positioned, re-orientated, turned off completely, or the font size updated by the user. Each plot (i.e. Time Series, Cross-Section / Long Profile, etc) has independent legend settings. It is also possible to change the name of each legend entry; this is done via the Customize tool. Please see the relevant link at the bottom of the page.

The legend can be toggled on/off by clicking the Legend button. The positioning and orientation options can be accessed by using the down-arrow on the right-hand side of the button.

Customising The Legend Position

The legend position can be changed by either choosing one of the pre-defined positions, or by inputing a custom position.

The default positions are shown below. The Auto option is dynamic and attempts to choose the best position.

The Custom Position option allows the user to manually specify the exact location of the legend. The convention is as follows:

Position X: 0.0, Y: 0.0 = the bottom left corner of the plot window
Position X: 1.0, Y: 1.0 = the top right corner of the plot window
The position is where the bottom-left of the legend is placed (i.e. the anchor point of the legend is the bottom-left)
The position can be below zero and greater than one (this will place the legend outside the plot)

Examples:
Position X:0, Y:0

Position X:1, Y:1

Position X:0.5, Y:1.1
