How do you create a permanently visible legend?

When I create a pie chart, I can use mouse over or mouse hover to see the legend but I want the legend to be visible all the time.

When I create a PDF of the dashboard there is no legend on the pie charts. How do I enable this?

The trick is to concatenate the data series values into your pie slice label, as follows:

Example 1 for count

| stats count by op_eTOM
| eval op_eTOM_Slice=op_eTOM+ ": " + count + " Transactions"
| fields op_eTOM_Slice, count

Example 2 for total durations

| stats sum(Duration) as sum_Duration_Seconds by op_eTOM
| eval total_Minutes=round(sum_Duration_Seconds/60)
| eval op_eTOM_Slice=op_eTOM+ ": " + total_Minutes + " Minutes"
| fields op_eTOM_Slice, sum_Duration_Seconds

I haven't tried this myself, so it's a bit of a guess (someone else might give you a better answer), but have you set the layoutSprite properties to visible in the XML?

See http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/4.3/Developer/AdvChartingConfig-TextblockLayoutspriteSpr...

The tool tip properties (http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/4.3/Developer/CustomChartingConfig-Tooltip) inherit from layoutSprite.
