I have some projects with a lot of graphs which I want to appear the same way for reporting purposes. I perform some labelling actions with graph-windows, for example I create and place a new legend at a certain position and perform an update of the legend afterwards:
label -d 4400 3500 -sl -n Legend text;
legend;

What I miss is the possibility to access the properties -e.g. black line as background or the font size. In the help I found that the legend-command takes no options and no arguments.
Is there any workaround to modify the properties of the legend by script?

Thanks for any help

Hi Markus,

The legend is just a text label named "legend" and can be manipulated with the label command (as you've already found) and as any other named object. If you search for "User-created visual objects" in your labtalk guide you'll find that properties such as legend.left, legend.top, legend.background, legend.color and many more are available.
