How to Adjust the Legend Marker Width in Bold Reports Line Charts
In Bold Reports, legends play a key role in helping users understand chart data by representing each series with a marker and label. In Line Charts, the legend marker typically appears as a small line segment or symbol corresponding to the series.
In some scenarios, the default legend marker width may be too small or not visually distinct. Bold Reports allows you to adjust the legend marker width using the shapewidth custom attributes, improving chart clarity and presentation.
