	[[Grid Overlay]]s can display wide ranges of values for a wide range of use-cases. The results are computed and stored as individual numeric values on a grid spanning the entire [[Project]]. Based on the [[Legend]] of the [[Grid Overlay]], specific values are visualized with specific colors. Depending on the calculation, the range of results, the theme of the calculation and the intended audience for the results, it is often desirable or even required to configure the legend so that the the full range of data can be easily interpreted visually.

			* The order of entries is dictated by the values of the entries. While editing the values, the entries may reorder automatically.
			* Any value in the [[Grid Overlay]] results which exactly matches an entry in the legend, will be displayed with that entry's color.
			** Any value higher or lower than the highest or lowest entry in the legend will be displayed with the color of the highest of lowest entry respectively.
			** Any value in between the values of two entries in the legend will be displayed with the interpolated color of the two closest entries.
			** [[NO_DATA]] values are automatically visualized as transparent.
			* The name of an entry cannot be empty. However, a "space" can be used instead to display a color without a (visible) text.
			* The [[Grid Overlay]]'s legend can be reset to the default by unchecking the "Custom Legend" option. Any customizations to that [[Grid Overlay]]'s legend are then discarded.
