Adding the Ability to Customize the Legend in Graphs

A developer came by today to ask me if it would be possible to add the ability to change the foreground and background colors on the Legend in the BKBaseGraphApplets. Also, he wanted to know if it would be possible to remove the border. Basically, he didn't like the grey background and the 3D border and wanted something that seemed to fit in the same plane as the graph itself. Seems reasonable, and after doing it, it actually looks reasonably nice.

Anyway, the work wasn't that hard - took me about an hour for the whole deal. But an interesting part was that you had to disable the 3D effect on the legend in addition to disabling the border. Seems the two are different visual objects. Nice of them, to add that level of customization. For now, however, turning the thing off or on is good enough.
