In +some cases the user may want to draw the legend to somewhere else. To make this +possible the legend can be detached from the chart. Detaching means that the +chart doesn't draw the legend or try to change its layout. The detached legend can +then be drawn wherever the user wishes, for example, in a different graphics +scene. The behavior of the legend can be inspected by running the legend +example. In the example we use the bar series where we add or remove the bar +sets. The legend reflects the changes in the series. The legend can be detached or +attached back to the chart and its alignment can be modified. When the legend +is detached, it can be resized and positioned freely. + +.. image:: legend.png + :width: 400 + :alt: Legend Screenshot |
