## Legend options
-If the **legend** [scale option](./scales.md#scale-options) is true, the default legend will be produced for the scale; otherwise, the meaning of the **legend** option depends on the scale: for quantitative color scales, it defaults to *ramp* but may be set to *swatches* for a discrete scale (most commonly for *threshold* color scales); for *ordinal* *color* scales and *symbol* scales, only the *swatches* value is supported. If the **legend* scale option is undefined, it will be inherited from the top-level **legend** plot option.
