Chart2 Direct Legend Font Effects

Overview

The Legend parts of a Chart can be styled using the various style_* methods of the ChartLegend class.

Here we will see how to set options that are seen in Fig. 700.

Setup

General setup for this example.

from __future__ import annotations
from pathlib import Path
import uno
from ooo.dyn.awt.font_underline import FontUnderlineEnum
from ooo.dyn.awt.gradient_style import GradientStyle
from ooodev.format.inner.direct.write.char.font.font_effects import FontLine
from ooodev.calc import CalcDoc, ZoomKind
from ooodev.loader.lo import Lo
from ooodev.utils.color import StandardColor
from ooodev.utils.data_type.color_range import ColorRange

def main() -> int:
    with Lo.Loader(connector=Lo.ConnectPipe()):
        fnm = Path.cwd() / "tmp" / "piechart.ods"
        doc = CalcDoc.open_doc(fnm=fnm, visible=True)
        Lo.delay(500)
        doc.zoom(ZoomKind.ZOOM_100_PERCENT)

        sheet = doc.sheets[0]
        sheet["A1"].goto()
        chart_table = sheet.charts[0]
        chart_doc = chart_table.chart_doc
        _ = chart_doc.style_border_line(
            color=StandardColor.BRICK,
            width=1,
        )
        _ = chart_doc.style_area_gradient(
            step_count=64,
            style=GradientStyle.SQUARE,
            angle=45,
            grad_color=ColorRange(
                StandardColor.GREEN_DARK4,
                StandardColor.TEAL_LIGHT2,
            ),
        )
        legend = chart_doc.first_diagram.get_legend()
        if legend is None:
            raise ValueError("Legend is None")
        _ = legend.style_font_effect(
            color=StandardColor.PURPLE,
            underline=FontLine(
                line=FontUnderlineEnum.BOLDWAVE,
                color=StandardColor.GREEN_DARK2,
            ),
        )

        Lo.delay(1_000)
        doc.close()
    return 0

if __name__ == "__main__":
    SystemExit(main())

Apply the font effects to the Legend

Before formatting the chart is visible in Fig. 833.

from ooo.dyn.awt.font_underline import FontUnderlineEnum
from ooodev.format.inner.direct.write.char.font.font_effects import FontLine
# ... other code

_ = legend.style_font_effect(
    color=StandardColor.PURPLE,
    underline=FontLine(
        line=FontUnderlineEnum.BOLDWAVE,
        color=StandardColor.GREEN_DARK2,
    ),
)

Running the above code will produce the following output in Fig. 520 and Fig. 521.
