Vue VectorMap - legends
A legend is a supplementary map element that helps end-users identify a map area or a map marker. The VectorMap UI component can display several legends simultaneously. To configure legends, declare an array of objects and assign it to the legends property. Each object in this array specifies settings of one legend. These settings are described in this section.
Each legend requires the source property to be set. This property specifies whether it is areas or markers that must be accompanied with a legend. Learn more from the description of the source property.
A map legend contains several legend items. A legend item consists of a marker and a text. You can change the size of markers using the markerSize property. To provide texts for legend items, you need to implement the customizeText function.

- Hexadecimal colors
