pie chart legends

[shlomi_weiss]

Hi all

I have a pie chart in xcelsius 5.3 and the labels have long text.

I want to have the labels at the bottom of the chart in order to preserve space for the chart it self.

My problem is that I can only have all legends in one line and it's not enough to see all of them.

Is there a way to wrap the legends or format them in several lines?

Regards

HI,

Yes, we can do some tricks to get it. Use one background component for chart and uncheck the background option in chart. Assign data to chart i mean only values not labels. Also uncheck the legend in chart. Now you can use no of check box's for labels. Example if you have 7 labels then you can use 7 check box's. Align in the bottom of the chart. The same colors of the pie chart need to set for 7 check box's for both checked & unchecked. Now give the labels for check box's as a title.
