To manipulate Legends on the Chart

A legend is a cartographic element that has a filled rectangle, followed by a text. The fulfillment of this rectangle, identifies the polygons of the thematic map whose fulfillment is from the same type. The text associated to the rectangle identifies the representation of these polygons.

On the chart generator, the legend editor can determine, using the SIG database, all the themes of the project and, also, identify the type of fulfillment and the associated text to each of the themes. Therefore, the legend editor is able to fill the legend's rectangle and the associated text associated to them automatically.

These characteristics are very important and facilitate the edition work. In CAD systems, the edition of the legends is very difficult to perform, because the associations of the themes with the legend's rectangles are done manually.

Insering a Legend on the Chart:

NOTE: The legend's items will be introduced bottom up, from the starting point given.

Changing the content of a Legend Item:

The user can change the content of a legend item after its insertion on the chart's area. This allows you to  change on the chart, a name without changing it on the data base category.

Removing a Legend Item:

NOTE: Clicking on the remove button removes all the selected elements from the chart.
