Graph line color visibility

Post by jjocsak »

Steve is it possible to make the line color more visible in Graphs and Select-a-Graph?

My eyes aren't what they used to be and would appreciate either a box color or a thicker line weight.

Thanks
Jeff

The line width in the legend appears to be tied to the line width of the graphs (and I can't change those; I tried once and it caused all kinds of problems). But it does appear that I can change the background colour of the legend. I'll add an option to the right-click menu for each graph. You'll then have to choose a colour that works OK with the colours of the lines and the legend text (I don't really want to add an option to change that too, but...)

Could you replace the line with a colored box like you did in the Select-a-Graph?

No, the legend is part of the chart, and I don't have that sort of control over it. It's literally a representation of a segment of the graph line.

There's an option to have the legend text for each item in the same colour as the line...

I'd love thicker line weight if you ever find a way. Being colour blind the thin line weight is impossible to distinguish. I have to guess which is which by deduction ;-)

I don't think it's going to possible to do anything significant in this version. It'll hopefully be much clearer in Cumulus 2.
