Custom Legend for any chart

[TimTimT]

Is it possible to render legend components on any chart?
Both for the Swarm and Bullet chart, I would like to show my users what the colors and other markings on the chart signify.

Is there a way use the BoxLegendSvg component, feed it custom input, and render the result on a Bullet or SwarmPlot?

Legends are available for most charts, but it seems that feature is missing for swarmplot and bullet.

@TimTimT - yes, it is possible to use BoxLegendSvg to manually create a legend. See here an example with swarmplot

For the bullet chart, adding a legend would be more complicated because that implementation does not support custom layers. As a hack, you could create two charts side by side, the first visualizating your data, the second with an empty Bar/Swarm/Other chart and display a legend in the second adjacent chart.

@plouc, I can add legend capability to the swarmplot. It would be nice to have that work without resorting to custom layers.
