The Wolfram Language provides easy tools to create and add legends to visualizations of all kinds. Whether using the built-in automatic legends, creating highly customized legends, or something in between, the Wolfram Language provides straightforward ways of using legends to match styles with labels, and colors with values. In the extreme cases, the Wolfram Language allows practically anything to have a legend, and for that legend to be anything.
