Arguments

map: A map object created by the mapboxgl function.
legend_title: The title of the legend.
values: The values being represented on the map (either a vector of categories or a vector of stops).
colors: The corresponding colors for the values (either a vector of colors, a single color, or an interpolate function).
type: One of "continuous" or "categorical".
circular_patches: Logical, whether to use circular patches in the legend (only for categorical legends).
position: The position of the legend on the map (one of "top-left", "bottom-left", "top-right", "bottom-right").
sizes: An optional numeric vector of sizes for the legend patches, or a single numeric value (only for categorical legends).
add: Logical, whether to add this legend to existing legends (TRUE) or replace existing legends (FALSE). Default is FALSE.
width: The width of the legend. Can be specified in pixels (e.g., "250px") or as "auto". Default is NULL, which uses the built-in default.
layer_id: The ID of the layer that this legend is associated with. If provided, the legend will be shown/hidden when the layer visibility is toggled.
margin_top: Custom top margin in pixels, allowing for fine control over legend positioning. Default is NULL (uses standard positioning).
margin_right: Custom right margin in pixels. Default is NULL.
margin_bottom: Custom bottom margin in pixels. Default is NULL.
margin_left: Custom left margin in pixels. Default is NULL.

Value

The updated map object with the legend added.
