class OrangeWidgets.plot.owlegend.OWLegendTitle(text, parent)

class OrangeWidgets.plot.owlegend.OWLegend(graph, scene)

A legend for OWPlot.

Its items are arranged into a hierarchy by category. This is useful when points differ in more than one attribute. In such a case, there can be one category for point color and one for point shape. Usually the category name will be the name of the attribute, while the item’s title will be the value.

Arbitrary categories can be created, for an example see OWPlot.update_axes(), which creates a special category for unused axes. decimals .. image:: files/legend-categories.png

In the image above, type and milk are categories with 7 and 2 possible values, respectively.
