ChartDirector 7.0 (Python Edition)

LegendBox.addKey


Usage

addKey(text, color [, lineWidth [, drawarea ]])

Description

Adds a custom entry to the legend box.

This method adds an entry within a legend entry priority of 1 (followed by 2, 3, 4, ... for repeated calls). This has higher priority than entries added automatically by ChartDirector for representing data sets. As a result, by default, the custom entry will appear before the automatic entries.

To control the order of the custom entry relative to the automatic entries, use LegendBox.addKey2.

See LegendBox for more information on legend entry priority system.
