hi there,  
we use lots of metric count visualizations in kibana. showing a simple metric  
count doesn't lend itself to having a legend (imho). thus we have lots of legend buttons  
that simply clutter the screen. is there a way to just turn the legend off?  
thanks

Can't do it currently. You could open this up as an enhancement request on the kibana repo, [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new).
