Set Designer Legend statement - MapBasic - 2023

Purpose

Refreshes the Legend window, sets the orientation to portrait or landscape. (To change the size, position, or title of the Legend window itself, use the Set Window statement.) You can issue this statement from the MapBasic window in MapInfo Pro.

Syntax 1

Set Designer Legend 
	[ Window legend_window_id ]
	[ Refresh ]
	[ Portrait | Landscape ]

legend_window_id is an integer window identifier that you can obtain by calling the FrontWindow() function and the WindowID() function.

Syntax 2

Set Designer Legend 
	[ Antialias { On | Off } ]

Description

The Set DesignerLegend statement allows you to set redraw functionality on or off, refresh, set the orientation to portrait or landscape.

If a Window clause is not specified MapInfo Pro will use the topmost Legend window.

The optional Refresh keyword causes the Legend window to refresh.

The optional Portrait clause aligns frames on the left and Landscape aligns frames frames on the top of the Legend window.

The Antialias clause turns anti-alias on or off when drawing raster symbols on the map. Symbols are drawn as vector. Line and region styles are drawn as raster, but are not anti-aliased, so they do not appear blurry. By default, anti-aliasing is set to off for the Set Designer Legend statement.
