resize plot legend programmatically

[LVCoder]

Hi All,

I want to know if there is any way to programatically re-size the plot legend so that it can show longes names. I have tried setting the "Autosize" property to TRUE but I do not need that because some names in the plot could be really long and I do not want to show the complete name. I need a way to resize it so whataever size I want.

I played around with the "LegWidth" property but when I increase it, the size of the text box in the legend remains the same.

Is there any way to implement it what I want to achieve?

Thanks!

Easiest solution: Format the strings of plot names to right size, and then use Autosize.

How do I change the font size of the plot name programatically?

Here is a rough draft of the custom legend I created. I can resize the plot legend by dragging it to the left or right.
