A legend

A legend is a graphical object that can be inserted in a graphic sheet. A legend is a description of various line, symbol and text attributes used for plotting curves on a XY plot containing line layers.

Creating a new legend

In a graphic sheet such as figue, select menu Insert/Legend. Alternatively, use the toolbar icon for legend Legend icon.png 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 page file in figue to plot the same legend as in figure.
