Legend title does not change in diagram
« on: February 15, 2013, 01:18:30 am »
Hello folks,

When placing a legend on a diagram, its default title is "Legend"
I thought I could change it by changing the Legend's Name property in the "Properties" view but it keeps displaying "Legend".

Am I missing something here?
Thanks in advance,

regards
Manfred

Sorry I was a bit quick with this question,

I just found it:

one has to select "Style Options..." in the Legend property page, this pops up another dialog where the legend title can be changed!  :)
 

Cheers
Manfred

Its called the EAUI!
You could reasonably expect consistency in a UI and in the behaviour of objects. (with apologies to Paolo (see his posting signature))

Yep, sometimes it's a bit of a pain  ;)

What I'd like to see happening is some effort being made to rationalise these inconsistencies.

It reminds me of the thread about colour dialogues.

Yeah, I second that.
There is another example for inconsistency in EA:

Why can we change the colour for multiple elements but not their status for example? Applying properties to multiple elements is something I need to do very often. Ok, I can write scripts and plug-ins, but I'd expect that from the standard IDE. ::)
