This allows users to (optionally!) customise the symbol appearance for a legend node, e.g. to tweak the colors or symbol sizes to better provide a "representative" patch symbol compared with how those corresponding features actually appear on the map. It's useful for exaggerating symbol widths, or for manually tweaking the colors of semi-transparent symbols so that the colors represent the actual appearance of the symbols when rendered on top of the map content. Or to tweak the marker interval/offset in marker lines so that the markers are nicely spaced in the legend patch. Fixes qgis#14077

Original Redmine Issue: 4094
Redmine category:map_composer/printing
When, for example, using transparent polygons with an aerial photo underneath (I imagine this is a common thing to do), the composer legend entries can look a very different colour to the polygons in the map. See the attached screenshot, particularly the red, purple and dark blue legend entries.
It would be good if there was a way to make the colours more similar. I'm not sure how to do this - I think something like taking an actual slice out of the map to use for the legend entry would be very complicated. Maybe there could be an option to specify a colour or an image or something to put under the legend entries... or an option to disable transparency in the legend, or something along those lines. Does anybody know of any other software that tries to deal with this issue?
