Legends
Legends appear by default if there are any columns added to the Color or Size fields.

Legends can be customized in the following ways:
Hide/show the legend
Hide/show specific fields and marks in the legend
Change the title of the legend, and the display name of each mark
Change the position of the legend
Change the font style of the legend title and display names
