Legend Control
Use the Measurement Studio legend control, as shown in Figure 2-1, to
display symbols and descriptions for a specific set of elements of another
object, such as the plots or cursors of a graph. When you associate the
legend control with another object, any changes you make to that object are
automatically reflected in the legend. For example, if you associate the
legend control with the plots of a graph, any changes you make in the plots
collection editor are automatically reflected in the legend.
Tip For more information about using the legend control, refer to the Using the
Measurement Studio Legend .NET Control section in the NI Measurement Studio Help.
