Description:

The legend command controls which legends are plotted when annotating a display, and it controls the appearance of the legends. legend_name and legend_att settings can both be invoked within a single command. A legend_name value of on means plot the legend. (On is the default for all legend_name values.) Note that this command does not effect existing annotations, only future ones.

Examples:

legend all=off

legend all=on, iso=off, bnd=off

legend tickloc2d=out, tickax2d=bltr, surf=off
