1 SigmaPlot 13 s flexible legends. Prior to version 13, if you wanted to rearrange the legends of a SigmaPlot graph, it was necessary to ungroup them, which broke the link between the legend and the graph properties. Now, it is possible to rearrange the legend items in respect to one another, alter the number of rows of the legends, or use direct labelling of graph items, with the legends still being bound to the graph properties.

The number of rows can be altered by dragging the legend block handles, or by specifying the number of columns in the Graph Properties.
