This program can be used to create a legend, an explanatory list of colours, patterns or symbols, as they are used by the programs mapclust and den.

Each line in a legend file consist of a number, from 1 to 19, followed by some text, or the number 0 (zero). The number 0 can be used to "skip" a line.

An example using symbols:
