Legends are actually axes objects that sit on top or beside an axes object. A legend cannot exist without its "mother axes object".

Text Color: Change the text color on a legend through a color picker dialog.
Background Color: Change the background color of a legend.

Hide Legend: Hides all legends, but does not destroy them. To make legends visible again, click on "Show Legend" on the Edit Menu; see Menus for details.
Lock/Unlock Legend: By pressing down the left Mouse button on a legend you can normally drag it to another position. These functions make such dragging possible or impossible.
