Decide on limit for algorithms in plot legends
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Currently, 19 algorithms appear nicely in the legends of line and blob plots.

What is the strategy? Is a limit needed?

As described in T27474, the legend could also be broken into two columns.

Event Timeline

One strategy would be to add an optional argument in which the number of displayed teams can be specified. For challenges with 200 participants, even multiple columns might be confusing.

The plots can already be limited to the top x performing algorithms. This can be reused in that case. Then the question is how many legend items are we going to "guarantee" appearing nicely?

only podium plots and line plots actually require algorithms in legend, otherwise algorithm is identifiable from x-axis or facet label. Now, these redundant legends are removed.
besides that stacked frequency plots have colored tasks and respective legend

max number of tasks / algorithms now 20 in stacked frequency and line plots, respectively for legend appear on right, otherwise put on bottom of plot. could also be put to lower number
