Class: c3.Legend

Defined in:	js/c3-legend.coffee
Inherits:	c3.Base

Overview

A Legend to display a list of items.

It is important to set item_options.text or item_options.html to define how to display each element in the legend. By default, the data elements will be converted to strings and displayed as raw text. However, you will likely want to set a different accessor callback.

Styling

The list is created as a ul element. The hoverable class is applied if appropriate. The li elements get the parent class if they have children. li elements have spans with either the content or bullet class as appropriate.
