Changing position of legend - license

[Daniela]

Hello guys,

I need to customize Chart Legend position to align it vertically.

I would like to ask you - is what is described here allowed by Google Charts license?

Thank you, Jon!

Just to be sure - I was asking about this part. Are we allowed to change the position of the elements, using their coordinates?

google.visualization.events.addListener(chartErrorDetails, 'ready', function () {
    var circles = container.getElementsByTagName('circle');
    var labels = container.getElementsByTagName('text');
    var labelIndex = -1;
    var fontSize;
    var radius;
    var xCoordCircle;
    var xCoordLabel;
    var yCoordLabel;
    var yCoordCircle;
    Array.prototype.forEach.call(labels, function(label) {
      if ((label.getAttribute('text-anchor') === 'start') && (label.getAttribute('fill') !== '#ffffff')) {
        labelIndex++;
        if (labelIndex === 0) {
          radius = parseFloat(circles[labelIndex].getAttribute('r'));
          xCoordCircle = circles[labelIndex].getAttribute('cx');
          xCoordLabel = label.getAttribute('x');
        } else {
          fontSize = parseFloat(label.getAttribute('font-size')) * labelIndex;
          yCoordLabel = parseFloat(label.getAttribute('y'));
          label.setAttribute('x', xCoordLabel);
          label.setAttribute('y', (yCoordLabel - fontSize - (radius * labelIndex)));
          yCoordCircle = parseFloat(circles[labelIndex].getAttribute('cy'));
          circles[labelIndex].setAttribute('cx', xCoordCircle);
          circles[labelIndex].setAttribute('cy', yCoordCircle - fontSize - (radius * labelIndex));
        }
      }
    });
  });

You are *allowed* to do such things, in terms of license restrictions, but be aware that this is not a reliable practice in the long term.  We are allowed to change the implementation details such as the precise order and type of elements and associated attributes used in generating visualizations.  We are even allowed to change the API completely, though we try hard to only do that when necessary to resolve undesirable complications.

You may want to freeze the version you are using, rather than always using 'current', to avoid being exposed to such changes.   But even frozen versions may be forced to update (via redirection) if necessary.  So effectively, nothing is permanent.

Yes.
