In addition to editing and manipulating the visualization of in:Flux, the legend may be edited to best fit your needs.
Before or after a visual has been linked to the legend , it may be changed.
You can access the properties of the legend by selecting the name Legend in the Project Items tab. The below example makes use of the Tutorial 2 save file.
