 Draft of legend implementation. Please edit or change completely.
 
-* 1st prototype
- * d.legend.vector
- * in: list of d.vect commands from layer manager
- * Python
- * extract: symbol color1 color2 size width text
-  * symbol
+ * d.legend.vect in C
+ * input csv file: vector symbol color fill_color size width label
    * symbols for lines and areas must be created
-   * icon if v.info returns lines, then use the new symbol for lines
-   * icon if v.info returns areas, then use the new symbol for areas
-   * use icon for points
-   * use icon when explicitly specified (there is a default but GUI does not put it there unlike history)
    * if mixed feature types, either special symbols or separate entries or just use symbol (needs to be decided)
-  * color1=color
-  * color2=fill_color
-  * size=size
-  * width=width
-  * text=title or name
- * generates d.graph file
- * GUI takes d.vect commands, calls this module and uses the output in d.graph when rendering
-* 2nd stage
- * text format for customization
- * `symbol color1 color2 size width text...`
- * `legend/lines_z` red none 5 2 State border
+ * d.vect - add new parameters for specifying legend, d.vect would have a flag to write a file with this specification
+   * for example new parameter `legend_label`
+ * GUI takes files generated by d.vect commands, and puts them together and calls d.legend.vect to render the legend
+ * the same could be done for d.vect thematic
+ * users can also customize the input text file - a special widget needs to be developed to simplify it.
+ * d.legend.vect should have `vector` parameter - only those will be rendered
