Add a legend to chart.

Legends are tables that list classification colours. Classifications are used to colour-code features using attribute values.

For example, depth contours can be colour-coded using Value of Depth Contour (VALDCO) attributes. The Create Legend command will create a table of colours from the depth-contours classification.

A classification must exist before the Legend command can be applied.
