plotSetLegendBkd#

Purpose#

Sets the opacity and color for the background of a graph legend.

Format#

plotSetLegendBkd(&myPlot, opacity[, bkd_clr])#

Parameters:

&myPlot (struct pointer) – A plotControl structure pointer.
opacity (Scalar) – a value between 0 (completely transparent) and 1 (completely opaque).
bkd_clr (string) – Optional argument, the name or rgb value of the new background colors.

Examples#

Example 1#

// Declare plotControl structure
// and fill with default settings
struct plotControl myPlot;
myPlot = plotGetDefaults("xy");

// Set legend text
plotSetLegend(&myPlot, "Sin" $| "Cos");

// Set the legend background to be
// 90% opaque and gray.
clrs = "gray";
plotSetLegendBkd(&myPlot, 0.9, clrs);

// Create data
x = seqa(0.1, 1, 50);
y = sin(x)~cos(x);

// Plot the data with the new line colors
plotXY(myPlot, x, y);

Example 2#

// Declare plotControl structure
// and fill with default settings
struct plotControl myPlot;
myPlot = plotGetDefaults("xy");

// Set legend text
plotSetLegend(&myPlot, "Sin" $| "Cos");

// Set the legend background to be completely transparent.
// This will make the legend background and border invisible.
// Th legend text will still be seen.
plotSetLegendBkd(&myPlot, 0);

// Create data
x = seqa(0.1, 1, 50);
y = sin(x)~cos(x);

// Plot the data with the new line colors
plotXY(myPlot, x, y);

Note

This function sets an attribute in a plotControl structure. It does not affect an existing graph, or a new graph drawn using the default settings that are accessible from the Tools > Preferences > Graphics menu.
