Trend Tool – Configuring a Legend

Note: You can change configuration settings for this tool in Run mode. However, these settings usually only persist for the current runtime session. When you close the CygNet Studio screen on which the tool resides, the tool settings may revert to those originally configured in Edit mode.

The Legend page specifies the format and placement of the trend legend.
