Hi everyone,

is there a quick way to disable the legend for a plot created with AOG?

I know that you can pass legend attributes to `draw`, like so:

```julia
d = (;x=[1,2,3], y=[1,2,3], c=["a", "b", "c"])
p = data(d) * mapping(:x, :y, color=:c) * visual(BarPlot)
draw(p; legend=(;position=:bottom))

```

But I didn’t find an overview of the options that can be passed to that.

Thanks!

I think the legend is [baked](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/AlgebraOfGraphics.jl/blob/6ffe13ddc686fc194bd4a980fd2c905aeff9e605/src/draw.jl#L50) into `draw`. It’s not as quick as a flag, but you could use [`draw!`](http://juliaplots.org/AlgebraOfGraphics.jl/dev/API/functions/#AlgebraOfGraphics.draw!) instead:

```julia
f = Figure()
draw!(f, p)
f

```

I usually just go to the [docsctrings](https://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/documentation/api_reference/index.html#Legend), or use `help_attributes` for things like `Scatter`, `BarPlot`, etc.

That makes sense and I guess using `draw!` isn’t too bad. I’ll remember to look at the Makie docstrings next time. Thanks for indulging my questions 🙂
