Displaying Legends as Drop-Down in Chart Widgets

Legends can be displayed as a dropdown menu in chart widgets to enhance visibility and interactivity. The feature allows users to toggle the visibility of the legend, providing a cleaner and more focused view of the chart data. This feature is useful for complex charts with multiple data sources, as it allows you to toggle the visibility of the legend and focus on specific data points.

Benefits of Using Legend Drop-Down

• Increased Chart Space: Hides legends from the chart area, resulting in more space for the chart itself.
• Enhanced Visibility: Simplifies viewing complex charts with multiple data sources.
• Interactivity: Users can filter data based on legend selections.

Steps to Enable Legend Drop-Down

1. Access Properties:

   • Click the settings icon on the widget to open the Properties section.

2. Navigate to Legend Settings:

   • Go to the “Legend Settings” section.

3. Set Position to Drop-Down:

   • In the “Position” option, choose “Drop-down”.

4. Enable Interactivity:

   • Enable the interactivity option to allow multi-select on the legend drop-down.

When you hover over the chart, a legend icon will appear. Clicking on this icon will bring up a legend dropdown, allowing you to toggle the visibility of the legend in the chart.

Example Use Case

If you have a chart displaying sales data for different years, you can use the legend dropdown to deselect all other years and focus only on a specific year. This makes it easier to analyze data without the clutter of other data points.
