Missing feature - Display chart legend #4

Closed AshishGupta001 closed 8 years ago

AshishGupta001 commented 8 years ago

As per ChartJS doumentation, generating chart legend is as simple as invoking 'generateLegend()' method but how to get this implemented in laravel-chartjs is not documented. This is a important information especially when there are multiple datasets in a single chart.

I believe that now it is possible to use legends in charts. Thanks for feedback and i ll wait for your response about this feature. For that just reopen this issue.

Hi Felix, Thanks for fixing the bugs I have logged. I happened to get to use the latest code only now as I got busy with other stuff. You fix worked like charm. Thanks.

As I was using the latest code, I had a few additional things which I would like to achieve along with the current charts. Maybe you already have them in your roadmap to develop and/or might consider them as good enhancement.

1) Currently 'legends' as displayed as bullet points. This takes vertical space if there are 4-5 or more individual datasets. Can there be an option to instead display the legends horizontally as one single line.

2) I had requirement to display data in tabular form along with the Graph. Currently I have coded the same to get the data in tabular form, but I think it will be good to have this as one of the features in your library. Implementation wise it's fairly easy. I tried looking into but could not quite understand on how you do

and how I can extend the same to output the table within a div element.

If you can provide some pointers, it will be helpful.

Thanks Ashish
