+Plot can generate legends for *color* and *opacity* [scales](#scale-options). (An opacity scale is treated as a color scale with varying transparency.) For an inline legend, use the *scale*.**legend** option:
 
-* *scale*.**legend** - if truthy, generate a legend for the specified scale
+* *scale*.**legend** - if truthy, generate a legend for the given scale
 
-If the *scale*.**legend** option is true, the default legend will be produced for the scale; otherwise, the meaning of the *legend* option depends on the scale type. For quantitative color scales, it defaults to *ramp* but may be set to *swatches* for a discrete scale (most commonly for *threshold* color scales); for ordinal color scales, only the *swatches* value is supported.
