Füllen des Hintergrunds der Legende in einem ArcGIS Pro-Layout

Zusammenfassung

In ArcGIS Pro, once a legend is added to a layout, the appearance of the layout can be modified. However, changing the color of the legend's background does not automatically fill the entire background.

This article provides two workarounds to change the color of the entire background.

Vorgehensweise

Use one of the workflows below to modify the legend's background.

Fill the background by adjusting the X and Y gap values

1. In ArcGIS Pro, on the Layout tab, right-click the legend, and select Properties.
2. In the Format Legend pane, click the Placement tab.
3. Expand Position and select the box in the center of the grid, as shown in the image below.

4. Click the Display tab.
5. On the Display tab, expand Background.
6. For Symbol, click the down arrow to open the color palette. Choose a color to change the legend's background.

7. To fill the background, adjust the X gap and Y gap values to the desired extent. In this example, the X gap value is '0.6 in' and the Y gap value is '0.1 in'. The legend's background is filled, as shown in the image below.

Use a graphic element as the legend's background

1. Draw a rectangle element on the layout.
   1. On the Insert tab, in the Graphics and Text group, select Rectangle.

2. On the Layout tab, draw a rectangle over the legend.
3. In the Format Polygon pane, click the Symbol tab.
4. Under Appearance, for Color, click the down arrow to open the color palette. Choose a color to change the color of the rectangle element.
5. Click Apply.

2. In the Contents pane, click to select and move the rectangle element layer to position it below the legend layer. The legend is now visible over the rectangle element.

3. Adjust the alignment of the rectangle element and the legend.
   1. Press and hold the Ctrl key on the keyboard, and click to select the legend layer in the Contents pane.
   2. Right-click the selected layers, click Align, and select the alignment for the elements. In this example, Align Center is selected.

4. In the Contents pane, right-click the selected layers and select Group to group the layers. This allows the rectangle element and the legend to be moved and resized simultaneously.
