Chart or diagram legends are intended to provide a visual representation of data in a table, thereby communicating a lot of information very easily.

In particular this extension allows two types of legends to be constructed:

• The first one is represented by circular diagrams known as Pie Charts. The pie chart shows the proportional size of the elements of a data series, based on the sum of its parts, and with each sector representing the value of a particular field. It always shows only one data series and is useful when you want to emphasize a significant element.
• The second type of legend is represented by diagrams known as Bar Charts or Bar Graphs. A bar graph, also known as a column graph, is a diagram containing rectangular bars with lengths proportional to the values ​​they represent. Bar graphs are used to compare two or more values.
