A legend displays the meaning of the symbols
used to represent features on the map. Legends
consist of examples of the symbols on the map
with labels containing explanatory text. Legends
have patches that show examples of the map
symbols. Often, legend patches are points,
straight lines, or rectangles that match the map
symbols. The layer author may have customized
the legend patches; for example, some areas are
represented with patches of another shape, or
rivers are drawn with a sinuous rather than a
straight line.
