{title:What is a legend?}

{pstd}
A legend is a table that shows the symbols used in a graph along with text
describing their meaning.  Each symbol/text entry in a legend is called a key.
See {it:{help legend_option}} for more information.


{marker remarks2}{...}
{title:What is a legendstyle?}

{pstd}
The look of a legend is defined by fourteen attributes:

{phang2}
    1.  the number of columns or rows of the table

{phang2}
    2.  whether, in a multicolumn table, the first, second, ..., keys
	appear across the rows or down the columns

{phang2}
    3.  whether the symbol/text of a key appears horizontally adjacent
	or vertically stacked

{phang2}
    4.  the gap between lines of the legend

{phang2}
    5.  the gap between columns of the legend

{phang2}
    6.  how the symbol of a key is aligned and justified

{phang2}
    7.  the gap between the symbol and text of a key

{phang2}
    8.  the height to be allocated in the table for the symbol of the key

{phang2}
    9.  the width to be allocated in the table for the symbol of the key

{p 7 12 2}
   10.  the width to be allocated in the table for the text of the key

{p 7 12 2}
   11.  whether the above specified height, width, and width are to be
	dynamically adjusted according to contents of the keys

{p 7 12 2}
   12.  the margin around the legend

{p 7 12 2}
   13.  the color, size, etc., of the text of a key (17 attributes)

{p 7 12 2}
   14.  the look of any titles, subtitles, notes, and captions
	placed around the table (23 attributes each)

{pstd}
The {it:legendstyle} specifies all fourteen of these attributes.


{marker remarks3}{...}
{title:You do not need to specify a legendstyle}

{pstd}
The {it:legendstyle} is specified in the option

	{cmd:legend(style(}{it:legendstyle}{cmd:))}

{pstd}
Correspondingly, option {cmd:legend()} has other suboptions that will
allow you to specify the fourteen attributes individually; see
{it:{help legend_option}}.

{pstd}
Specify the {it:legendstyle} when a style exists that is exactly what
you desire or when another style would allow you to specify fewer changes
to obtain what you want.
