Hi,
i have line graph with three lines/ series on it.
Now In legend it shows symbols for these three series.
But i just want to show only one symbol for one line in legend, i don't
want to show series symbol for remaining to 2 lines, All three lines will
be displayed on chart though.


Any suggestions?


Thanks

Can you try something like:

if(
lerh.getLabel().getCaption().getValue().compareToIgnoreCase( "series2")
== 0 ){

bounds.setHeight(0);
bounds.setWidth(0);
lerh.getLabel().setVisible(false);

}

Jason,
This solution creates an empty space at the position that the hidden labels are. Is there a way to remove the empty space?

Thanks

I assume you mean the empty space vertically between two other legend
entries? If so use something like this:
This example assumes you have 3 series in the legend like
series3
series2
series1

and you want to remove series2 and bump up series1



boundsH=0;
boundsW=0;
boundsT=0;
boundsL=0;

function beforeDrawLegendItem(lerh, bounds, icsc)
{

if(
lerh.getLabel().getCaption().getValue().compareToIgnoreCase( "series2")
== 0 ){

boundsL = bounds.getLeft();
boundsT = bounds.getTop();
boundsH = bounds.getHeight();
boundsW = bounds.getWidth();

bounds.setHeight(0);
bounds.setWidth(0);
lerh.getLabel().setVisible(false);

}else{
lerh.getLabel().setVisible(true);
}

if(
lerh.getLabel().getCaption().getValue().compareToIgnoreCase( "series1")
== 0 ){
tempBoundsT = bounds.getTop();
bounds.setTop(boundsT);
boundsT= tempBoundsT;
}


}

Jason,
Thanks for the solution. I also wanted to know how the same space issue can be avoided on the chart (eg: if I am hiding a series in a bar chart, an empty space appears between 2 bars)

Thanks

Are you basing this on a report parameter? Why not just drop the series
completely?

Yes- so that a series can be hidden at runtime. In which case I have this issue of blank spaces in the chart as well as legend...

Take a look at this example. It removes the series instead of hiding it.

Jason,
I'm sorry, but did you attach it somewhere? I couldn't view the example in the previous post..

Thanks
