Creating a new legend
In a graphic sheet such as figue, select menu Insert/Legend. Alternatively, use the toolbar icon for legend 
or right-click on a blank part of the graphic sheet and access all menu items through the context menu (useful for Mac users who have no top menu bar when the graphic sheet is embedded in a larger application, e.g. inside geopsy). Open this [[Image::Legend_page.page|page file]] in figue to plot the same legend as in figure.
