Changing the legened postion by default in viva

wgtkan

Is there any way to change the legend position in viva so that it shows above the plot always? Every time, I plot a simulation, I have to go to graph, properties, and graph options to change the legend position from left to above.

Thanks in advance.

    How can I change the default legend position for an eyeDiagram?

    The default for a transient response is "left", but for an eyeDiagram the legend position is always "above".

    Regards,

    Koen

    Hi Koen,

    This changed in IC616 ISR9, as a result of CCR 1232703. There is no option to change the default behaviour - if you don't like it, you have to edit the graph properties afterwards. It's similar to histograms - these also have the legend "above" - usually because you have a single eye diagram or single histogram and so the above choice is more space-efficient.

    If you want this configurable, you should contact customer support for an enhancement request.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
