orientation  Integer in Orientation of the series in the legend 0 = Horizontal 1 = Vertical
reverseOrder  Integer in Reverse order? -1 = No change 0 = Do not reverse 1 = Reverse
reverseKey  Integer in Using reverse order? -1 = No change 0 = Do not reverse 1 = Reverse
location  Integer in Location code
horizOffset  Integer in If location = 0: Horizontal offset from plot's left side in points
vertOffset  Integer in If location = 0: Vertical offset from plot's top side in points

The CT SET LEGEND ATTRIBUTES command sets the attributes of the legend specified by area and object.

display specifies whether or not the legend is displayed.

orientation specifies whether the series in the legend are displayed vertically or horizontally with regard to each other. Here are examples of vertical and horizontal legends:

The following table contains the codes for the location parameter:

1Top left
2Bottom left
3Top right
4Bottom right
5Left
6Right
7Top
8Bottom

horizOffset and vertOffset are used when location is set to 0. horizOffset is expressed in points from the left side of the graph to the left side of the legend. vertOffset is expressed in points from the top of the graph to the top of the legend.

Note: To get the text attributes of legend text, use the CT GET CHART TEXT ATTRIBUTES command.
