Hi All,

Is there a way to change or removed the border of the legend (image below) of the Barchart in Reporting? The only option available is either to show it or not and legend font and color.

Thanks

Almost certainly possible via the `configureChart` extension function.  
Possibly (untested):

```python
from org.jfree.chart.block import BlockBorder
chart.legend.itemContainer.frame = BlockBorder.NONE

```

</div>

```auto
from org.jfree.chart.block import BlockBorder
from java.awt import Color

legend = chart.getLegend()

# Change color
legend.setFrame(BlockBorder(Color.red))

# Hide border
legend.setBorder(0, 0, 0, 0)
# or
legend.setFrame(BlockBorder.NONE)

```
