# Legend

```python exec
import reflex as rx
```

A legend tells what each plot represents. Just like on a map, the legend helps the reader understand what they are looking at. For a line graph for example it tells us what each line represents.

## Simple Example

```python demo graphing
data = [
    {"name": "Page A", "uv": 4000, "pv": 2400, "amt": 2400},
    {"name": "Page B", "uv": 3000, "pv": 1398, "amt": 2210},
    {"name": "Page C", "uv": 2000, "pv": 9800, "amt": 2290},
    {"name": "Page D", "uv": 2780, "pv": 3908, "amt": 2000},
    {"name": "Page E", "uv": 1890, "pv": 4800, "amt": 2181},
    {"name": "Page F", "uv": 2390, "pv": 3800, "amt": 2500},
    {"name": "Page G", "uv": 3490, "pv": 4300, "amt": 2100},
]


def legend_simple():
    return rx.recharts.composed_chart(
        rx.recharts.area(data_key="uv", stroke="#8884d8", fill="#8884d8"),
        rx.recharts.bar(data_key="amt", bar_size=20, fill="#413ea0"),
        rx.recharts.line(data_key="pv", type_="monotone", stroke="#ff7300"),
        rx.recharts.x_axis(data_key="name"),
        rx.recharts.y_axis(),
        rx.recharts.legend(),
        data=data,
        width="100%",
        height=300,
    )
```

## Example with Props

The style and layout of the legend can be customized using a set of props. `width` and `height` set the dimensions of the container that wraps the legend, and `layout` can set the legend to display vertically or horizontally. `align` and `vertical_align` set the position relative to the chart container. The type and size of icons can be set using `icon_size` and `icon_type`.

```python demo graphing
data = [
    {"name": "Page A", "uv": 4000, "pv": 2400, "amt": 2400},
    {"name": "Page B", "uv": 3000, "pv": 1398, "amt": 2210},
    {"name": "Page C", "uv": 2000, "pv": 9800, "amt": 2290},
    {"name": "Page D", "uv": 2780, "pv": 3908, "amt": 2000},
    {"name": "Page E", "uv": 1890, "pv": 4800, "amt": 2181},
    {"name": "Page F", "uv": 2390, "pv": 3800, "amt": 2500},
    {"name": "Page G", "uv": 3490, "pv": 4300, "amt": 2100},
]


def legend_props():
    return rx.recharts.composed_chart(
        rx.recharts.line(
            data_key="pv",
            type_="monotone",
            stroke=rx.color("accent", 7),
        ),
        rx.recharts.line(
            data_key="amt",
            type_="monotone",
            stroke=rx.color("green", 7),
        ),
        rx.recharts.line(
            data_key="uv",
            type_="monotone",
            stroke=rx.color("red", 7),
        ),
        rx.recharts.x_axis(data_key="name"),
        rx.recharts.y_axis(),
        rx.recharts.legend(
            width=60,
            height=100,
            layout="vertical",
            align="right",
            vertical_align="top",
            icon_size=15,
            icon_type="square",
        ),
        data=data,
        width="100%",
        height=300,
    )
```
