#' Legend guide
#'
#' Legend type guide shows key (i.e., geoms) mapped onto values.
#' Legend guides for various scales are integrated if possible.
#'
#' Guides can be specified in each `scale_*` or in [guides()].
#' `guide = "legend"` in `scale_*` is syntactic sugar for
#' `guide = guide_legend()` (e.g. `scale_color_manual(guide = "legend")`).
#' As for how to specify the guide for each scale in more detail,
#' see [guides()].
#'
#' @param title A character string or expression indicating a title of guide.
#' If `NULL`, the title is not shown. By default
#' ([waiver()]), the name of the scale object or the name
#' specified in [labs()] is used for the title.
#' @param title.position A character string indicating the position of a
#' title. One of "top" (default for a vertical guide), "bottom", "left"
#' (default for a horizontal guide), or "right."
#' @param title.theme A theme object for rendering the title text. Usually the
#' object of [element_text()] is expected. By default, the theme is
#' specified by `legend.title` in [theme()] or theme.
#' @param title.hjust A number specifying horizontal justification of the
#' title text.
#' @param title.vjust A number specifying vertical justification of the title
#' text.
#' @param label logical. If `TRUE` then the labels are drawn. If
#' `FALSE` then the labels are invisible.
#' @param label.position A character string indicating the position of a
#' label. One of "top", "bottom" (default for horizontal guide), "left", or
#' "right" (default for vertical guide).
#' @param label.theme A theme object for rendering the label text. Usually the
#' object of [element_text()] is expected. By default, the theme is
#' specified by `legend.text` in [theme()].
#' @param label.hjust A numeric specifying horizontal justification of the
#' label text.
#' @param label.vjust A numeric specifying vertical justification of the label
#' text.
#' @param keywidth A numeric or a [grid::unit()] object specifying
#' the width of the legend key. Default value is `legend.key.width` or
#' `legend.key.size` in [theme()].
#' @param keyheight A numeric or a [grid::unit()] object specifying
#' the height of the legend key. Default value is `legend.key.height` or
#' `legend.key.size` in [theme()].
#' @param direction A character string indicating the direction of the guide.
#' One of "horizontal" or "vertical."
#' @param default.unit A character string indicating [grid::unit()]
#' for `keywidth` and `keyheight`.
#' @param override.aes A list specifying aesthetic parameters of legend key.
#' See details and examples.
#' @param nrow The desired number of rows of legends.
#' @param ncol The desired number of column of legends.
#' @param byrow logical. If `FALSE` (the default) the legend-matrix is
#' filled by columns, otherwise the legend-matrix is filled by rows.
#' @param reverse logical. If `TRUE` the order of legends is reversed.
#' @param order positive integer less than 99 that specifies the order of
#' this guide among multiple guides. This controls the order in which
#' multiple guides are displayed, not the contents of the guide itself.
#' If 0 (default), the order is determined by a secret algorithm.
#' @param ... ignored.
