Changing the legend position in the Cadence results

Senan
Senan over 3 years ago

Hello 

I am using the Cadence Virtuoso version IC6.1.8-64b.500.6

I am facing a problem when trying to change the legend position from my result graph, for example if I want to change it form the default to the top or inside, I go to the graph properties then change the legend position to above.

in the picture below is how my graph will look like 

Now I have saved the image to my local computer using the following setting

However, after I opened the saved image, the legend is disappeared as you can see from the picture below

you see on the image is written "more" but not presenting the legends

Thank you

Best Regards

    I'm surprised that this has not been noticed before (I can't find a report of the problem). It works OK with Render exactly as on screen, but not with that turned off. It's still broken in the latest IC6.1.8 ISR (ISR23). So I filed a change request, CCR 2617845 to get this fixed.

    Thank you Andrew for your help,

    I have tried your solution and it is now working as you can see from the image below

    However, with "Render exactly as on-screen" restrict me from changing the graph background, hence it comes in back as my original graph is in black. 

    I tried to find the option where I can change the backround colour for specific results by going to Graph properties, but I am not able to find such an option.

    Could you please help me to find this option from the GUI?

    Another problem I have found is related to the choice of "inside" for the legend, once I choose it I loose totally my legends as you can see from the following image

    Thank you once again

    Use Edit->Multi Graph Properties to change the background colour. 

    I agree, the "render as" doesn't help with PDF - it was certainly an imperfect workaround.
