    r"""
    Plot legends on maps.

    Makes legends that can be overlaid on maps. Reads specific
    legend-related information from an input file, or automatically creates
    legend entries from plotted symbols that have labels. Unless otherwise
    noted, annotations will be made using the primary annotation font and
    size in effect (i.e., :gmt-term:`FONT_ANNOT_PRIMARY`).

    Parameters
    ----------
    spec : None or str
        Either ``None`` [Default] for using the automatically generated legend
        specification file, or a *filename* pointing to the legend
        specification file.
    {projection}
    {region}
    position : str
        [**g**\|\ **j**\|\ **J**\|\ **n**\|\ **x**]\ *refpoint*\
        **+w**\ *width*\ [/*height*]\ [**+j**\ *justify*]\ [**+l**\ *spacing*]\
        [**+o**\ *dx*\ [/*dy*]].
        Define the reference point on the map for the
        legend. By default, uses **JTR**\ **+jTR**\ **+o**\ 0.2c which
        places the legend at the top-right corner inside the map frame, with a
        0.2 cm offset.
    box : bool or str
        [**+c**\ *clearances*][**+g**\ *fill*][**+i**\ [[*gap*/]\ *pen*]]\
        [**+p**\ [*pen*]][**+r**\ [*radius*]][**+s**\ [[*dx*/*dy*/][*shade*]]].
        If set to ``True``, draw a rectangular border around the legend
        using :gmt-term:`MAP_FRAME_PEN`. By default, uses
        **+g**\ white\ **+p**\ 1p which draws a box around the legend using a
        1p black pen and adds a white background.
