2591
    Creates a legend and attaches it to the axis. Meant to be used when a ``legend=True`` parameter is passed.
2592
2593
    Parameters
2594
    ----------
2595
    ax : matplotlib.Axes instance
2596
        The ``matplotlib.Axes`` instance on which a legend is being painted.
2597
    values : list
2598
        A list of values being plotted. May be either a list of int types or a list of unique entities in the
2599
        data column (e.g. as generated via ``numpy.unique(data)``. This parameter is meant to be the same as that
2600
        returned by the ``_discrete_colorize`` method.
2601
    cmap : ``matplotlib.cm`` instance
2602
        The `matplotlib` colormap instance which will be used to colorize the legend entries. This should be the
2603
        same one used for colorizing the plot's geometries.
2604
    legend_kwargs : dict
2605
        Keyword arguments which will be passed to the matplotlib legend instance on initialization. This parameter
2606
        is provided to allow fine-tuning of legend placement at the top level of a plot method, as legends are very
2607
        finicky.
2608
