Merged idea

Make it possible to control the size/length of sections in the legend. Merged

Today there is a hard coded limit of max 30 entries in the "Color by" or "Shape by" legend. The reasons are mainly:

1. It is hard to use the legend for configuring the plot if you need to scroll.
2. Letting one property totally obscure others means you cannot see plot configuration without scrolling.

There should be a way for users to control the maximum number of entries (or screen estate) displayed for potentially large legend items such as "Color by" and "Shape by".

    We need full control over the legend to be able to specify what we would like to display/hide AND there should be no restriction on the amount of data to be displayed. If the data exceeds the screen size, then a scrollbar should be presented to scroll down. We should also be able to sort the legend based on different criteria.

    Adding to this, I would like the ability to set the number of entries to see but then allow scrolling within each part of the legend.

    could be great to position legend every where on top of the visualization to save some spaces .
