Insert a check in the Aquifer Legend check-box to include in the 2D log, section, or profile diagram a legend to the aquifer names and colors as listed in the project's Aquifer Types Table. Note that one of the settings in the Aquifer Types Table is whether each material type is to be included in legends (using the Show in Legend check-box).
Expand this item to set the legend options.
Menu Options
- Plot Title: Insert a check here to include a title in the aquifer legend, and expand this heading to type in the title.
- Legend Title: type in the title to be displayed at the top of the legend.
- Width: The Width setting determines the width of the legend, expressed as a percent of the study area dimensions. The default setting is 8.0.
- Height: This determines the height of the legend, as a percent of the study area dimensions. The default setting is 50, meaning that the legend will be about 50% of the height of the profile or section.
- Position: The default position for the legend is to the right of the diagram. You can expand this heading to select any horizontal and vertical offsets should the legend be placed too close to the diagram or too low/high.
- X (Horizontal) Offset: This determines the offset of the legend from the right edge of the diagram, as a percent of the study area dimensions. Default = 1.0, to place the legend just slightly to the right of the diagram. You can increase this value to move the legend further to the right.
- Y (Vertical) Offset: This determines the offset of the legend being centered vertically in the diagram space, as a percent of the project dimensions. Default = 0. Set this to a value > 0 to offset it upward, or < 0 to offset it downward.
- Plot Background Colors: Check this box to display in the legend the background color you defined for the aquifers, in the Aquifer Types Table.
- Plot Patterns: Check this box to display in the legend the foreground pattern design for the aquifers.
- Plot Border: Insert a check here to include a solid-line border around the legend.
- Dividers: Insert a check in this check-box to include divider lines between the aquifer name rows in the legend.
- Item Dimensions: Expand this item to set the relative sizes for the different legend components.
! Note that all of these items can also be adjusted in the RockPlot2D window itself once the log, section, or profile is displayed - just click on the 
button, double-click on the legend, and adjust the settings. You can also use the button to drag the legend to a different location on the diagram. See RockPlot2D Editing Tools.
! You can also add a new legend to a diagram in RockPlot2D. See RockPlot2D Drawing Tools.
