User Defined Legend

Customize the legend in the Legend View for better interpretation of results.

CoMan offers the possibility to individually customize the legend displayed in the Legend View. The dialog to customize the legend of the currently displayed result or scenario database can be accessed from the Legend tab of the Settings dialog by selecting User Defined in the Type section and pressing the Configure button.

Once a user defined legend has been defined for a specific result or a scenario database it will be displayed for all results or databases of the same type within the current project. Another legend type has to be selected in the Type section of the Settings dialog in order to use the default legend again.
