"""
The legend module defines the Legend class, which is responsible for
drawing legends associated with axes and/or figures.

.. important::

    It is unlikely that you would ever create a Legend instance manually.
    Most users would normally create a legend via the
    :meth:`~matplotlib.axes.Axes.legend` function. For more details on legends
    there is also a :ref:`legend guide <plotting-guide-legend>`.

The Legend class can be considered as a container of legend handles
and legend texts. Creation of corresponding legend handles from the
plot elements in the axes or figures (e.g., lines, patches, etc.) are
specified by the handler map, which defines the mapping between the
plot elements and the legend handlers to be used (the default legend
handlers are defined in the :mod:`~matplotlib.legend_handler` module).
Note that not all kinds of artist are supported by the legend yet by default
but it is possible to extend the legend handler's capabilities to
support arbitrary objects. See the :ref:`legend guide <plotting-guide-legend>`
for more information.

        The pad and spacing parameters are measured in font-size units.  e.g.,
        a fontsize of 10 points and a handlelength=5 implies a handlelength of
        50 points.  Values from rcParams will be used if None.

        Users can specify any arbitrary location for the legend using the
        *bbox_to_anchor* keyword argument. bbox_to_anchor can be an instance
        of BboxBase(or its derivatives) or a tuple of 2 or 4 floats.
        See :meth:`set_bbox_to_anchor` for more detail.

        The legend location can be specified by setting *loc* with a tuple of
        2 floats, which is interpreted as the lower-left corner of the legend
        in the normalized axes coordinate.
