Remarks

IPatch is the generic interfaces used to modify the aspect of the patches, the small lines or rectangles used to display legend classes and the text that goes with them.

Since the patches can be areas or lines two separate interfaces exist: IAreaPatch and ILinePatch, the associated objects contain geometries of different types but no specific properties or methods.
