For 2D Chart the Legendborder will paint; for 3D Charts not.
That's should be similar.

->bm: Please take over as you are on the legend.
Comment 3 bjoern.milcke 2007-02-14 11:24:22 UTC
->kla: What do you mean by legend border? Do you mean the border around the
legend symbols? These are shown exactly as the data series border settings are.
So in simple look you get borders, too. Only when a data series has no border,
the legend symbol also gets no border.

So what should we do in that case? The same as in the old chart: draw a BLACK
border, which is black and always black and cannot be changed to anything else
but black, it cannot even be removed and you cannot change its width.

And when should we use the black border? Only for 3d charts? Only for 3d bar charts?

When we import Excel files with 3d bars with no borders we can never show the
legend symbols like in Excel (without border). In Apple's Keynote legend symbols
are always without border.

As long as we cannot customize the "black hairline" that appears by magic, I am
not happy with reimplemeting the old chart's hack.

A compromise would be to use the border style of the legend itself for the
icons. But only if the series have no border, or always?

IMHO the current behavior is more logical and consistent than the behavior in
the old chart.
