Implementation for Issue#5099 (#5099 ) adds three new legend components that show unique values from marker attributes (color, size, symbol) rather than trace-based legends.

New components:

• colorlegend: displays unique color values as swatches
• sizelegend: displays size ranges as graduated circles
• symbollegend: displays unique marker symbols

Features:

• Click to toggle visibility of points with that attribute value (remains to be implemented)
• Support for multiple legends (colorlegend, colorlegend2, etc.)
• Configurable positioning, styling, and orientation
• Works with scatter and scatter-variant traces

Summary

This PR implements attribute-based legends as requested in#5099.

Currently, Plotly.js legends are trace-centric (one entry per trace), which becomes unwieldy when multiple traces share visual attributes like color scales or size mappings across hundreds of points. This enhancement adds three new legend components that allow users to create separate legends based on marker attributes:

• colorlegend - Discrete color swatch legend for categorical or binned color values
• sizelegend - Graduated circle legend for size ranges
• symbollegend - Symbol shape legend for marker symbols

New Trace Attributes

• marker.colorlegend - Reference tolayout.colorlegend
• marker.sizelegend - Reference tolayout.sizelegend
• marker.symbollegend - Reference tolayout.symbollegend

Example Usage

Plotly.newPlot('div',[{type:'scatter',x:[1,2,3,4],y:[10,20,15,25],marker:{color:['Species A','Species B','Species A','Species C'],colorlegend:'colorlegend'}}],{colorlegend:{title:{text:'Species'},x:1.02,y:1}});##TestPlannpmrunlintpassesnpmrunschemaregeneratedJasminetestsaddedforallthreecomponentsImagemocks added:colorlegend_basic,sizelegend_basic,symbollegend_basicManualtestingindevdashboardNote:ThisismyfirstcontributiontoPlotly.js(oneoftwoPRsI'm working on for this project).
