Description
Use the Legend widget to build a legend that displays some or all of the layers in the map. To create a new legend widget specify the map and the HTML element where the legend will display. Optionally you can provide a list of layers to display in the legend. If no layers are specified all the layers will display in the legend.
You can also set the respectCurrentMapScale parameter to true if you want the legend to only display layers that are visible in the current map scale.
