Legend Limit
Enable this button to set a limit to the number of items in the legend. If the item number exceeds this limit, then the legend will not be displayed.
Tip: This helps in stopping a really big legend from being displayed if it contains too many items. (Reveals the Limit option once enabled.)
Legend Item Shape
Select a shape for the chart’s legend items using this drop down. You can choose between the square or circle shapes, or even a line.
Tip: The default shape will be based on the selected chart. For example, bar or column charts will have square icons in their legends, whereas line charts or trend items will show lines by default.
Show Trends in Legend
Use this to show or hide trend items in the legend.
Tip: This is a useful feature if you have too many trend items and want to hide them in the legend. The trend lines will still appear in the chart, however.
