Each Legend Item of a Legend should have a unique style. This style is defined by specifying Legend Item adornment properties. After creating or displaying a Legend in a diagram or table, Legend Item adornment (style) is applied to the symbols or table rows of corresponding elements and represented as the Legend Item icon inside the Legend. There is a wide range of Legend Item adornment properties, including:

  • Fill color
  • Pen color
  • Text color
  • Line width
  • Shape or path line color, style, and width
  • Icon and icon position on shape or path
  • Representation as a square shape, rectangular shape, line, or extended line

You can specify the adornment properties of a Legend Item in the Adornment Properties dialog.
