Organizing sections in a legend

You can refine a legend and design its look. The RST hierarchy list contains all RSTs associated with layers, even those not uses in the Area. Items listed in the Legend hierarchy box appear in the legend.

You can group items under sections and subsections to make the information easier to find in an Area. In the following figure, the items are separated in two sections: Transportation and Sports Facilities. The Sports Facilities section is divided into two subsections, making it easier to find Indoor Pool.
