====== Legends tab ======

The **Legends** tab allows titles to be displayed around the
Time-Location view in order to clarify the meaning of the axes.

These legends are generally used to indicate:

  * the **name of the time axis**
  * the **name of the distance axis**
  * the **type of information displayed in the scales**

===== Legend position =====

A legend can be displayed in each of the four corners of the view:

  * **Top left**
  * **Top right**
  * **Bottom left**
  * **Bottom right**

Depending on the orientation of the Time-Location view, these
positions allow a title to be added next to the displayed axes.

-----

===== Legend type =====

For each position, it is possible to choose the type of legend
to display:

  * **None**  
  no legend is displayed

  * **Distance**  
  displays the title associated with the distance axis

  * **Time**  
  displays the title associated with the time axis

These titles correspond to the information displayed in the
**time and distance scales** configured in the previous tabs.

-----

===== Text orientation =====

The legend text can be displayed in two orientations:

  * **Horizontal**
  * **Vertical**

This parameter allows the legend to be adapted to the layout
of the schedule and the orientation of the axes.

-----

===== Use in the Time-Location view =====

Legends improve the readability of the schedule by clarifying:

  * the nature of the time axis
  * the nature of the distance axis
  * the overall organisation of the view

They are particularly useful when **presenting or printing the schedule**, 
as they make it easier for readers to understand the Time-Location diagram.
