IlvLegendLayout (Rogue Wave JViews 9.2 API)

java.lang.Object
- ilog.views.chart.IlvLegendLayout

All Implemented Interfaces:

IlvServerSideLayout, LayoutManager, Serializable
```
public class IlvLegendLayout
extends Object
implements Serializable, IlvServerSideLayout
```
A LayoutManager class that arranges legend items. Depending on the legend position, this layout manager delegates the layout task to child layout managers.
The default layout policy is:
- When the legend is docked on top or at the bottom of an IlvChart, items are laid out as a grid, whose columns and rows are automatically computed to display all the legend items.
- When the legend is docked on the left or on the right of an IlvChart, legend items are laid out as a vertical flow, the column number of the flow being computed so that all items are visible.
- When the legend is floating, items are laid out as a one-column grid.
- When the legend has not been added to an IlvChart, items are laid out vertically as a one-column grid.
You can change this default behavior by creating LayoutManager instances of your choices by means of the corresponding factory methods.
Since:

JViews 5.5
