Make custom legend with Julia Pyplot

Question

I would like to make a custom legend in Julia's pyplot, in which the legend labels are not necessarily related to individual series plotted on the graph. For example:

In Python (pyplot comes from matplotlib) this could be done with:

from matplotlib.lines import Line2D
custom_lines = [Line2D([0], [0], color=cmap(0.), lw=4),
                Line2D([0], [0], color=cmap(.5), lw=4),
                Line2D([0], [0], color=cmap(1.), lw=4)]

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
lines = ax.plot(data)
ax.legend(custom_lines, ['Cold', 'Medium', 'Hot'])

The issue is I cannot seem to access the Line2D object in pyplot (using pyplot as plt, plt.lines.Line2D does not work).

Any workaround?

I know it is not pyplot but MakieLayout will solve your problem:
