          • Just asking for my own personal interest... I suppose that the legend symbol comes from the fact that the plots has mesh option!? What if two dummy invisible line plots were added, just to create the legend?

          • @hpekristiansen Yes, you could do that. A slight downside is that you need to give the dummy plots the same color. If you do that, addlegendimage will be an even more straightforward choice. There you can add whatever you like. The point here is that you could adjust pgfmathparsefactor*(##3 - rangea) to create a legend image in which the color changes. This is how tex.stackexchange.com/a/59075/121799 works.

          • @hpekristiansen I guess what happened in Jake's answer is that Jake looked up the definition of pgfplotsplothandlermesh@defaultlegend@img in pgfplotsmeshplothandler.code.tex and adjusted it to his needs. There you can find a bunch of simplecoordinate statements, which define the surface symbol of the ordinary mesh legend. The perhaps most important thing there is the statement letpgfplots@current@point@meta=pgfmathresult, which sets the meta (i.e. color) of a point. This gets linked to the third entry of the coordinates, and is how the fading effect is achieved.

          • Just asking for my own personal interest... I suppose that the legend symbol comes from the fact that the plots has mesh option!? What if two dummy invisible line plots were added, just to create the legend?

          • @hpekristiansen Yes, you could do that. A slight downside is that you need to give the dummy plots the same color. If you do that, addlegendimage will be an even more straightforward choice. There you can add whatever you like. The point here is that you could adjust pgfmathparsefactor*(##3 - rangea) to create a legend image in which the color changes. This is how tex.stackexchange.com/a/59075/121799 works.

          • @hpekristiansen I guess what happened in Jake's answer is that Jake looked up the definition of pgfplotsplothandlermesh@defaultlegend@img in pgfplotsmeshplothandler.code.tex and adjusted it to his needs. There you can find a bunch of simplecoordinate statements, which define the surface symbol of the ordinary mesh legend. The perhaps most important thing there is the statement letpgfplots@current@point@meta=pgfmathresult, which sets the meta (i.e. color) of a point. This gets linked to the third entry of the coordinates, and is how the fading effect is achieved.
