Origin Ver. 8.0 and Service Release SR 6
Operating System: Vista Business

Is there anyway to display the fill pattern in the legend?

I can see how to show a point's shape, color, etc., but I'm using different fill patterns to distinguish the various components in a graph. I can't get the legend to display this information.

What am I missing?

Many thanks.

If you wish to display the fill pattern for the second and fourth datapoints, modify the legend text as follows:

\l(1,2) %(1)
\l(1,4) %(1)

Thanks for your reply. I'm sorry, but I don't think that I made myself very clear. I have a graph with several fill area plots (or Hi-Low-Close). I need to show the pattern for each of these discrete area plots in the legend.

Hi:

This is a known bug. We are planning to fix it in the next version (#7707, #5424). Now, maybe you can add an object and change the object style like the pattern you set in Fill Area plot? I know it's not a real legend, sorry for the inconvenience.



Thanks
Larry
