graphinglib.SmartFigureWCS.hide_default_legend_elements

property SmartFigureWCS.hide_default_legend_elements: bool | list[bool]

Whether to hide default legend elements. This is useful if a custom legend was previously created using the set_custom_legend() method and you want to hide the default labels created with each Plottable element’s label. Each SmartFigure controls its own default legend elements, so if this property is set to True in a nested SmartFigure, the default elements will be hidden even if the parent SmartFigure attempts to create a general legend. However, both the nested and parent SmartFigures need to set this property to False to display the default elements of a nested SmartFigure in a global general legend.

Warning

The use of this property for simply toggling the visibility of the legend is discouraged. Instead, use the show_legend() property to show or hide all the legend elements. This should only be used if a custom legend was created.
