It would be great if the legend was not forced to have horizontal text and have all elements displayed horizontally.\r\n\r\nSomeone mocked what this would look like: [https://i.stack.imgur.com/FqCgO.png](https://i.stack.imgur.com/FqCgO.png)\r\n\n\n### Proposed solution\n\nif legend had a rotation parameter that would rotate the bbox around the anchor, it would be amazing!!
