Multi-colored text

[Filip-K]

Hi! I'm trying to create a legend which explains the colors used in my diagram, but I'm a bit at loss with creating colored text that does not overlap. Here's as far as I could get (link to the playground)

Close enough, but the legend entries foo and bar overlap. Any ideas?

@Filip-K ah, yeah multiple near set to the same constant will overlap.

The way to do this will be to put both items in a container and then set the near on just that container. But that's currently a TODO. We'll get to this in the next week or so. #848

I see, thanks! The trick with putting a legend into a container is already pretty good, even if it cannot be set near yet. Feel free to close this issue now or when #848 is done.

great to hear! I'll close this then in favor of that one
