This would be an easy (easier than @alexcjohnson 's legend 2.0 idea :smirk: ) solution to https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/issues/2967, https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/issues/2080, https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/issues/1701 and https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/issues/1560\r\n\r\n----\r\n\r\nBy the way, I'm thinking a naming this new container `legenditem` and not `legend` as I'm thinking `legend` could eventually be used when we implement multiple legends where e.g. `legend: 'legend2'` would mean \"put this trace's legend item in the second legend\".\r\n\r\nOne more note on @alexcjohnson 's legend 2.0 idea: having `legenditem` in traces wouldn't make it obsolete. We could still add a way to turn annotations into legend items later. \r\n\r\nThoughts?","author":{"url":"https://github.com/etpinard","@type":"Person","name":"etpinard"},"datePublished":"2019-04-05T16:51:12.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":11},"url":"https://github.com/3735/plotly.js/issues/3735"}
