m = geemap.Map() m.add_basemap('ESA WorldCover 2021') style = { 'position': 'fixed', 'z-index': '9999', 'border': '2px solid grey', 'background-color': 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8)', 'border-radius': '10px', 'padding': '5px', 'font-size': '14px', 'bottom': '20px', 'right': '5px', } m.add_legend( title='ESA Land Cover Type', legend_dict=legend_dict, draggable=False, style=style ) m
