Is it possible to create chart legends without use of color for b&w only publications?

I would like to create charts with legends based on filling pattern instead of colors for printing only in black and white. Does libreoffice do it?

Hello,

Yes this is a choice. Select the item to change in the chart. This may require multiple mouse clicks say the particular bar you want to change:

Sample shows selected bar as leftmost indicated by green square box. Now right mouse click and select Format Data Series... from context menu. It will display choices:

Here you can choose a pattern. When making a selection, each time make sure to select a Foreground and Background color. On my system, if not selected each time results were not as wanted.
