A legend type is a display method used to draw color-coded points based on point attributes such as elevation, intensity, classification, return combination, point source, and several others. The legend type chosen will apply to the point cloud and other surface derivatives of the active LIDAR Layer.

The colors used for each legend type are modified using the Symbology Property Page for the LIDAR Layer.

You can also modify the display characteristics using the Display Filter tab, also on the Layer Properties dialog box.
