Hi

Charts 3 looks great. seems nice and fast. Just what I have been needing.

But I can't find any examples of how to load up a legend / key as can be done in Chart YUI2. (Using styledef = legend: {Display right} or something along those lines)

Can someone please tell me how to do this?

Thanks

Sounds good. Looks like you're working hard Tripp.

I'm just trying to knock together a temporary html version of a Legend. Since I have the names of all my series in an array.
e.g. namesarray = ["UK", "US", "etc"]

var mystr
mystr = namesarray[0];
for (i=1; i<namesarray.length; i++){
//get colour for each Country
***
//add it to a html string
mystr = mystr+" "+namesarray[i];
}
document.getElementById("legendarea").innerHTML="<font color=black>"+mystr+"</font>";

For *** line, I'm trying to use something like:
seriesColor = mychart.getSeries("UK").get("styles.marker.fill.color")
so that I can set my font color to whatever.

I'm using a StackAreaChart, which I cannot seem to change the color as described in the example below for Column charts. I figured if I can "set" the color, I must also able to "get" the color too. So far I've managed neither in StackedAreaChart. Please help.

example: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/3/exampl ... pdate.html

ps its looks like the properties of styles in my StackedAreaChart are 'padding' and 'area' rather than 'marker'

Cheers

Tripp,

I created a single Legend plugin for this post. The code for it is currently just in-line, but I'll wrap it up in the Gallery, if you want to take a look at my implemetation.

I have added, and requested approval of, gallery-charts-legend. It is available on my github account.

I'm probably going to hold off on a CDN push until I get a few things cleaned up, but it's available for anyone who wants to use it.

Jeff's legend plugin can be found here:
