Legends in graphs with more than on GPL Block

  • 1.  Legends in graphs with more than on GPL Block

    Posted Thu October 03, 2024 05:58 PM

    When I do a simple cluster column graph the legend comes out perfectly, but if I do the same graph inside a two cluster column graphs in two GPL blocks, one on top of the other, sharing the same x-axis values, one of the legends comes out truncated and the keys are presented in a horizontal way, a line like. The nominal variable labels have several words in the SAV file.

    I have been looking everywhere as I wasn't able to find a solution in the GPL Reference Guide for IBM SPSS Statistics.

    I can correct this manually with the chart editor, but I have a huge number of similar graphs obtained with different data conditions in a cyclic way and I would like to find a solution to avoid individual chart editing.

    I was able to partially solve the problem, by editing an SGT template file and choosing a smaller font, but the legend becomes too small to be acceptable. 

    I am working with SPSS 29.0.1.1. (244) in OS X Sonoma 14.6.1

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you in advance

    I'm not sure what your chart looks like, but you can move the legend location, say, to the left, and use a custom template to save that.  You would need to save the layout property in the template.
