horizontal scrollbar for plot legend

[Osiris81]

Hello,

The plots in my plot legend for a graph can have quite long names so it would be great having a horizontal scrollbar.

Quote from here

>>To add a scroll bar to a plot legend, right-click the plot legend and select Visible Items»Horizontal Scrollbar or Visible Items»Vertical Scrollbar from the shortcut menu.

I can see the entry horizontal scrollbar, but it is always grayed out, what's wrong?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Cheers,
Rico

I think you are misinterpreting the use of the scrollbar.  If you have a lot of plots on your graph, then you can use the scrollabr to not show all the plots at once and this allows you to scroll through the list.  It does not allow you to make the plot legend smaller to hide long names and scoll across.

So, if you resize the plot to be horizontal, then you can display the horizontal scrollbar:



If you resize it vertically, then you can display the vertical scrollbar:

Hello Matthew,

Thanks for your answer!

Ok, I now understand what it menas, I would need to have both scrollbars at the same time, like the attachement.

So I guess I'll have to live with a very wide plot legend.
