Example: Controlling the Position of the Legend Markers

The following request against the GGSALES data source places the legend markers below the legend labels:

GRAPH FILE GGSALES
SUM DOLLARS BUDDOLLARS UNITS BUDUNITS
BY PRODUCT
WHERE CATEGORY EQ 'Gifts'
ON GRAPH PCHOLD FORMAT JSCHART
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH VBAR
ON GRAPH SET STYLE *
*GRAPH_JS
  legend: {markerPosition: 'bottom'},
 
series: [
    {series: 0, color: 'lightgreen'},
    {series: 1, color: 'coral'},
    {series: 2, color: 'lightblue'},
    {series: 3, color: 'burlywood'} 
]
*END
