Determine if legend is visible

[Florian AuerParticipant]

Hi all

In a chart the legend can be toggled by using $('#jqxChart').jqxChart({showLegend: false}); and $('#jqxChart').jqxChart({showLegend: true});
But is there also a way to determine if the legend ist already visible or not?
A call to the property is not working as it seems: $('#jqxChart').jqxChart('showLegend');

Thx for any advice

Hi DesMas,

showLegend turns on or off the legends. It does not determine if a specific legend is shown. The property works correctly.

      $("#chart1").jqxChart({showLegend: true}); // sets to true
            var showLegendValue = $("#chart1").jqxChart('showLegend'); // returns true

            $("#chart1").jqxChart({showLegend: false}); // sets to false
            var showLegendValue = $("#chart1").jqxChart('showLegend'); // returns false

Hi Peter

Thx for the reply.
You were right. It seems I destryoed the ‘showLegend’ property earlier by setting it to a wrong value of ‘undefined’.
That was the reason why I later on was not able to grab the correct value out of the chart
