浮点图迁移图例

Question

I'm using flot as a plotting javascript utility. Here is the sample I'm using which allows toggle... https://github.com/flot/flot/blob/master/examples/series-toggle/index.html

What I want to achieve is to move the legend to the right side of the plot as having several curves causes the legend to grow big and block the view. I tried the "aboveData" option as the api suggested:

$.plot("#placeholder", data, {
                    yaxis: {
                        min: 0
                    },
                    xaxis: {
                        tickDecimals: 0
                    },grid: {show:true, aboveData:false},
                });

It did not do anything. Then I tried changing the css to add a "left" property to the table:

.legend table {
    border-spacing: 5px;
    left:800px;
}

which does move the legend table to right but there is an opaque white div container left behind. Any idea how to remove it?

You method kinda works if you use the parent legend div instead of the table:

.legend {
    position: absolute;
    left:800px;
}

This is probably not the best way to achieve your goals though. flot provides the ability to relocate the legend to a container (div) of your choice. So to put the legend right of the plot, I'd do:

<div id="flotGraph" style="width: 400px; height: 400px; float: left"></div>
<div id="legendContainer" style="float: left"></div>

And then use the legend container property:

    $.plot("#placeholder", data, {
        yaxis: {
            min: 0
        },
        xaxis: {
            tickDecimals: 0
        },
        legend: {
            container: $('#legendContainer')
         }
      });

Here's an example .
