Legend

The legend identifies each series with a color indicator and name.

Position​

A horizontal legend runs along the top or the bottom of the chart, aligned left, centered or right:

LeftCenterRight
TopTop (Left)Top (Center)Top (Right)
BottomBottom (Left)Bottom (Center)Bottom (Right)

A vertical legend runs down the left or the right side, anchored to the top, the middle or the bottom: Left (Top), Left (Center), Left (Bottom), and the three Right equivalents.

Sharing a row with the Note

When the Note sits in the same band as a horizontal legend, the two are arranged automatically: side by side if they are in different zones (legend centered, Note on the right, say), stacked otherwise — with the legend always kept the closer of the two to the chart.

Legend Display Modes​

When a Logo is provided:

  • Text — Traditional display: color square + series name
  • Logo and Text — Logo image + series name (no color square)
  • Logo — Logo image only (no text)

If a series has no logo, it falls back to Text mode regardless of the setting.

Logo Width/Height

The Logo Width and Logo Height properties only appear when Legend Display is set to "Logo and Text" or "Logo".

Text Wrap​

A legend box is bounded: 150 px wide when it sits on the left or the right, the width of the visual when it sits on top or below. Text Wrap decides what happens to an entry that does not fit.

ModeResult
Ellipsis (default)The entry stays on one line and ends with an ellipsis
WrapThe entry flows onto as many lines as it needs

Neither mode ever produces a scrollbar. A scrollbar inside a report tile hides entries behind a control nobody thinks to drag, so it was removed outright.

Entries that no longer fit

With scrolling gone, a legend taller than the space it has is clipped rather than scrolled. Wrap makes entries taller and so clips sooner than Ellipsis — give the legend a horizontal position, or shorten the labels, when every series has to stay visible.
