Hi again,
whay can't change the Legend size? it can't be seen in article where the image have to be in one of 2 columns in Word. in paraView it seems there is no way to increase the legend size.
one has reported this issue here: http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/pa...ch/024228.html is there a way to resolve it?

Hi Ehsan,

Quoting myself from http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post451931 post #58:

The problem is that when you increase the font, it increases for both sizes, and it depends on whether the "Automatic Tick Mark Format" is turned on or off.

On post #60: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post452288 - you can find the long description on a workaround for some use scenarios.

Best regards,

Hi Bruno,
those posts were related to color legend,I mean the legend in plots that is a text box.not in the field of variables that are shown by color legend.
thanks.

Hi Ehsan,

Sorry, I can't figure out which ones you're referring to

Can you please post a snapshot of what you're referring to? You don't need to post the complete image of ParaView, seeing only the 2D or 3D view should be enough.

Best regards,
Bruno

isn't there a way to increase dimension of legends in a plot data from VTK files?

Hi Ehsan,

Can you provide an example image? I just want to be certain that we're talking about the same thing

Best regards,

Hi dear Bruno,
sorry a lot,I wanted to do that but don't know what happened and I forgot to add an attachment.
I mean the text related to each figure that lay in a box like the attached file.
when I paste it to Word,it becomes too small that's hard to see.

Hi Ehsan,

I've spent the past hour or so trying to figure out if there was any way to get access via Python to the legend controls.
Currently, there is no possibility in ParaView 3.12.0 to 4.0.1 to change the font size on the legend. It's only possible to change visibility and location.

Unfortunately I could not find any way to access the method "GetChart()" that is in the class "vtkXYChartRepresentation", simply because there is no Python based proxy to that method and it doesn't look like there is any easy way to access it.

For future reference, I tried running the following commands, when the plot entry is selected on the "Pipeline Browser" and the chart display is selected in the view window:

dataview = GetActiveView()
chart = GetRepresentation()

The first one only provides the following Python based controls for the legend:

dataview.ShowLegend
dataview.LegendLocation

The second one doesn't provide access to the method "GetChart", which is the method that would give access to the "vtkChartXY" class structure, which in turn would give direct control over the legend.

The way I can see it, it would require modifying the ParaView source code, namely in the following files:

ParaViewCore/ClientServerCore/vtkPVXYChartView.*
ParaViewCore/ServerImplementation/Resources/views_and_representations.xml

Then it would be necessary to rebuild from source code the whole ParaView installation.


I'm going to go have a look into ParaView 4.1.0, to check if this feature exists on this latest version.
edit: I've finished checking and it does not have any new legend controls

Best regards,
Bruno

thanks for your efforts dear Bruno, I found a simple trick,I change the figure to a small size,a size around the width of a A4 paper and because legend size is fixed, it changes to a rational size respect to other parts of the figure and everything turns fine only the distance between plots(when draw some of plots in one figure) become less than before,but its not bad,because the results seems coincide together and they will say what a good validation has done I'm kidding you,the validation is OK itself
