Introductory Maptitude: Lesson 3

Themes & Legends

3.19 General Legend Settings
  • Click Legend to show or hide the legend
  • Choose File-Properties and click Legend Settings, or double click on the legend, for the Legend Settings dialog box:

Legends can be displayed either on the map or in a separate window. If a legend is displayed on the map, it stays in the same relative location inside the map window when the map is moved or re-sized. If the legend is displayed in a separate window, it can be moved anywhere on the screen. This means you can place the legend so that it does not obscure the map.

When a legend is on the map, it prints automatically when you print the map. If the legend is separate, you must use a layout to print it.
