It is unlikely that you would ever create a Legend instance manually.
Most users would normally create a legend via the `~.Axes.legend`
function. For more details on legends there is also a :doc:`legend guide
</tutorials/intermediate/legend_guide>`.
The Legend
class is a container of legend handles and legend texts.
The legend handler map specifies how to create legend handles from artists (lines, patches, etc.) in the axes or figures. Default legend handlers are defined in the ~matplotlib.legend_handler
module. While not all artist types are covered by the default legend handlers, custom legend handlers can be defined to support arbitrary objects.
See the legend guide </tutorials/intermediate/legend_guide>
for more information.

matplotlib.pyplot.plotting
Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.
Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)
SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.
All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
