The Legend pane (if this tab is not visible see Additional views) provides a map with
explanatory notes that describe what objects in the map represent,
for example, highways, primary and secondary roads, and so on. This
is the typical sort of legend that can be found on most paper maps.
Entries in the Legend pane are added automatically when you add a
new layer. If the data source is complex, the entries in the Legend
pane are displayed according to your choice of features when you
import the file. For example, if you import a data source and
choose Transportation (Roads) as a feature, the Legend pane will
show an entry for secondary routes, causeways, and trails. You can
organize your map legend differently using the advanced properties
of the layers, such as
Legend Category
and
Legend Group
.
The following figure shows an example of the
Legend pane.
