Description

The idea of the feature would be to automatically generate a legend box with all kind of element and relation in the current view.
This include different color scheme as well

For instance, 2 Application Components with two different colors would generate two different elements inside the legend part
Possibilities :

  • All the legend can be made of visual element, thus not beeing referenced in the Model
  • Instead of adding core element to generate the legend, Note as color boxes might work
  • A connection can be fully customized between two blank notes, and appear as a right Relation
legend archi v1 legend archi v2

Research direction

The issue describes an automatic legend for elements, relations, and color schemes in the current view, with several possible implementation approaches. No files, tests, or entry points are named; start by locating the current-view rendering and visual-element code, then define which legend contents and customization behavior would count as complete.
