GGU-DOLPHIN: "General legend" menu item

A legend with general properties will be displayed on your output sheet, if the "Show legend" check box is activated in the dialog box of this menu item.

You can define and edit the position of the legend using the values "x" and "y". You can control the size of the legend via the "Font size" and "Max. no. of lines"; if necessary, the legend is displayed in several columns. You can also define a background colour in some legends.

The fastest way to modify the position or size of the legend is to press the [F11] function key and then to either pull the legend to the new position or to move the sides of the legend to their new size with the left mouse button pressed.

By activating the appropriate check boxes you decide which information and descriptions (e.g. verification of sum V, description of load case abbreviations, etc.) are also included in the General legend.

Furthermore, in the General legend you can, if wished, display information on the program (name and version), on the adopted standard and on the current file (name, path, time info). Any project identification entered in the "File/New" or "Editor 1/Analysis options" dialog box will be shown automatically in the General legend.
