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

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.

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.

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.

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.
