Hi Developers!
I have written the code for developing a legend for my custom visual. There are many legend items which overflow the chartArea and some are invisible.
How can i add horizontal scrolling or buttons like other power bi visual?
Can any one help me on this?
const fontsSize=this.visualSettings.legendFormat.fontSizeLegend.value + "px";
const fontFamily=this.visualSettings.legendFormat.fontFamilyLegend.value;
const fontColor=this.visualSettings.legendFormat.colorLegend.value.value;
const title=datas.categorical.categories[2].source.displayName
createLegend(adjustedChartWidth,title,fontColor,fontFamily,fontsSize,colorScale,this.svg,chartHeight)
function createLegend(adjustedChartWidth: any, title: any, fontColor: any, fontFamily: string, fontsSize: any, colorScale: d3.ScaleOrdinal<string, string>, container: d3.Selection<SVGGraphicsElement, any, any, any>, chartHeight: number) {
container.select(".legend-scrollable").remove();
const legendData = colorScale.domain();
const legendGroup = container
.append("g")
.attr("class", "legend-scrollable")
const legendItems = legendGroup
.selectAll(".legend-item")
.data(legendData)
.enter()
.append("g")
.attr("class", "legend-item")
.attr("transform", (_d, i) => `translate(0, ${i * 25})`)
const circleRadius = 7;
legendItems.append("circle")
.attr("r", circleRadius - 1)
.attr("cx", circleRadius)
.attr("cy", circleRadius)
.attr("fill", colorScale);
legendItems.append("text")
.attr("x", circleRadius * 2 + 10)
.attr("y", circleRadius + 2)
.attr("dy", "0.08em")
.style("font-size", fontsSize)
.style("font-family", fontFamily)
.style("fill", fontColor)
.style('text-anchor', "start")
.text((d) => {
const availableWidth = Visual.margins.right - adjustedChartWidth + 850; // Adjust as needed
const tempText = d3.select('body')
.append('svg')
.append('text')
.style('font-size', fontsSize)
.style('font-family', fontFamily)
.style('visibility', 'hidden')
.text(d);
const textWidth = tempText.node().getBBox().width + 5;
tempText.remove();
if (textWidth > availableWidth) {
const avgCharWidth = textWidth / d.length;
const maxChars = Math.floor(availableWidth / avgCharWidth);
return d.substring(0, maxChars - 4) + '...';
}
return d;
})
.append('title')
.text(function (d: string) {
return d;
});
//for positioning of the legend container after the last x axis label
const lastXTick = xScale.range()[xScale.range().length - 1] + Visual.margins.left + 70;
const legendX = lastXTick + chartWidth - adjustedChartWidth - 80;
legendGroup.attr("transform", `translate(${legendX}, 0)`);
}
Thank You !
