[Doc]: Erroneous Legend in Radar Chart Example #22535
Description
Documentation Link
https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/figure_api.html?highlight=figure#module-matplotlib.figure
Problem
Disclaimer: not sure if doc was the right tag
I'm currently trying to implement a radar chart. It works as intended in the example from the docs. However, already the example contains a bug: the legend is wrong.
As visible on the screenshot above, the color/icons of the legend are not corresponding to the graph. It looks like the lines and the content (fill) of the polygons are treated separately and therefore listed as single elements in the legend.
Suggested improvement
Show for each data either the line color or filling color.

For whoever wants to take a dig at it:
It should be possible to add a proxy artist here that has an outline and a filling, see the penultimate example of https://matplotlib.org/stable/tutorials/intermediate/legend_guide.html
This is the direct link to the radar example: https://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/specialty_plots/radar_chart.html

This is fixed as of master: https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/gallery/specialty_plots/radar_chart.html.

Do we need / want to backport the fix to this for 3.5.x?

It's a doc only fix, see #22458.

That PR was already backported to 3.5.x.
