A chart word, with the charts that use it.

Definition

A legend is the key that names each colour or mark. It sits under the plot so the chart can be read without guessing.

Common mistakes

A legend for one series

With one colour there is nothing to name. Use the title.

A legend far from the chart

Keep it next to the plot, in the same order as the marks.

Questions

Can a chart work without a legend?

Yes, when it labels its marks directly. 31 Chartory types do, so they have no legend prop.

Is the legend a prop?

Yes, on the types that have one: legend on or off, the same as in Figma.

In the kit

Multi-line, donut and the other types.

In Figma and React, in four sizes, light and dark. Pay once, every update.
