A legend is a small box that shows which data series are displayed in which color/pattern.

Note: If you only want to edit a single legend entry (you can also apply a formatting to it that differs from that of the legend as a whole), then click again in the area of the desired legend entry after selecting the legend. You can now choose the command Legend entry: Properties via the context menu.
