Graph Curve Legend
Posted: Fri Dec 01, 2023 10:29 am
I have a graph with multiple lines and would like to note what line is what. In this case, the lines are pipe sizes. I used the Text>Legend/Labels and put the pipe size in the "Curve Label". This will put the legend on the curve/line. However, it puts the text over top of the line which obscures the text label. Also, if the lines are close together, it is sort of hard to figure out what label goes to which line since the label can overlap two or more lines.
One way I got around the text being on top of the line was to just add spaces before the text in the Curve Label. This sort of works to solve that problem, but it makes the problem of the label being closer to an adjacent curve more of an issue and making it confusing what line label goes to what line.
What would probably help with this is to have an option to make the label parallel to the line. I guess if it was a curve, that might be more difficult to calculate.
Can you think of another way around this? I could add a note and put it anywhere I want but I can't seem to rotate the text to run parallel to the line. Using the note as it is is probably the best option I see, I can just locate it the best I can.
