Hi, today, i want to make some figure with legends, but I am confuse about some commands in legend input file. Is there are detail documentations about it?

Hi ankara17!

I think you could start with the docs. See the legend codes and the example.

Yes, I think that the easiest way to learn about legends is to use an example and modify it.
