Hello,
I am trying to get a legend for a box plot created in Makie. For the example provided in the website Page Redirection (attached is the box plot), how to get a legend inside the figure panel? Like in a scatter plot, I expect two legend items - one for each color.

How to do it?
Hi, I am not sure if there is an easier way, but I am currently handling such situations as follows
begin
xs = rand(1:3, 1000)
ys = randn(1000)
dodge = rand(1:2, 1000)
f,a,p = boxplot(xs, ys, dodge = dodge, show_notch = true, color = dodge)
# get current colormap
cmap = getproperty(ColorSchemes, p.colormap[])
# get colors used (length=2 in this case)
ccolors = cmap[range(start=0.0, stop=1.0; length=length(unique(dodge)))]
# build the marker elements
elems = [[MarkerElement(color = col, marker=:circle, markersize = 15,
strokecolor = :black)] for col in ccolors]
axislegend(a, elems, ["First text", "Second text"]; position=:rt)
f
end
