GD::Graph legend only shows 1 entry

bageler has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a GD::Graph::hbars with X data points. The graph is generated properly, however I cannot get the legend to display more than one entry. Any ideas? Here's all the relevant code.
my (@data,$totalvotes,@legend,$i); while (my @r = $sth->fetchrow) { push @{$data[0]}, ++$i; push @legend,"$i: $r[1]"; push @{$data[1]}, $r[2]; $totalvotes += $r[2]; } $sth->finish; if ($totalvotes > 0) { for (@{$data[1]}) { $_ = int(($_ / $totalvotes) * 100).'%'; } }
my $graph = GD::Graph::hbars->new(300,70*$#{$data[0]}); $graph->set ( y_label => 'Vote Percentage', x_label => 'Responses', title => $self->{poll}->{question}, y_max_value => 100, y_tick_number => 10, bar_spacing => 6, show_values => 1, dclrs => [ qw(lgreen orange cyan lred) ], cycle_clrs => 1, legend_placement => 'BL', legend_marker_height => 12, ) or warn $graph->error; $graph->set_legend(@legend); my $gd = $graph->plot(\@data) or warn $graph->error;

    The problem may have something to do with the structure of your data. Does the following example work for you in displaying all 3 values for the legend?
    use GD::Graph::hbars; use strict; use warnings; my @data = ( ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr'], [5, 7, 9, 6], [2, 2, 3, 1], [4, 4, 6, 3], ); my @legend = qw(maximum minimum average); my $graph = GD::Graph::hbars->new(600, 500); $graph->set ( x_label => 'Month', y_label => 'Value', title => 'GD::Graph::hbars example', bar_spacing => 6, show_values => 1, legend_placement => 'BL', legend_spacing => 5, show_values => 1, legend_marker_height => 12, dclrs => [ qw(orange cyan lred) ], ) or warn $graph->error; $graph->set_legend(@legend); my $gd = $graph->plot(\@data) or warn $graph->error; open(IMG, ">graph.png") or die $!; binmode IMG; print IMG $gd->png; close IMG;
      It does not work. I tried many ways of setting the legend:
      @legend = (1,2,3); $graph->set_legend(@legend); $graph->set_legend(qw(foo bar baz)); $graph->set_legend('foo','bar','baz');
      none of the above worked.
        What version of GD::Graph are you using? The example I gave worked for me with GD::Graph version 1.43, and GD version 2.30 (on Win32 ActiveState perl-5.8.7).

    Hi,

    There are lot questions posted on GD::Graph in recent days. Please go throught that one. Please post your understandings and obstacles you faced in Monks Discussion It will be very useful for the people who are Yet to start GD::Graph

    "Keep pouring your ideas"
      If I saw a thread that was relevant, I would have posted there. I'm no stranger around here, such as your status describes yourself, and if I did see anything useful I would add a meditation. Monks discussion is talk about this site itself, not about general perl problems.
