A diagram can have a legend that provides clear assignment of curves to the data on which the curves are based.

For each diagram curve selected to have a legend, a short section of the curve is drawn in the legend and labeled with text. For each curve, you can enter the text and insert fields that are replaced by header information from the curve's data set.

You can specify a title for the legend. You can color in the background, and a frame can be added to the legend. You can specify how many columns the legend is to have and in which order the curves are to be displayed. You can freely position the legend. It is, however, assigned to a corner of the diagram, so that when the diagram size is changed, the legend is shifted accordingly.
