Legend

DESCRIPTION

This module generates a colormap legend for the Render module. Its output should be sent directly to the "Screen" port of the Render module. The legend contains a representation of the colormap with numerical annotation to the right. The legend can be generated into any corner of the Render screen space, and any number of labels can be placed on the colorbar.
