Making a Legend/Key in GraphViz

Question

I’d like to include a legend or key in my GraphViz diagram. I’m having trouble figuring out what code to use, though. I also want to put it in a corner, but the only coord I know for sure is the bottom-left: pos="10,10!".

Does anyone know how I can get this to work?

digraph {
  rankdir=LR
  node [shape=plaintext]
  subgraph cluster_01 { 
    label = "Legend";
    key [label=<<table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" cellborder="0">
      <tr><td align="right" port="i1">item 1</td></tr>
      <tr><td align="right" port="i2">item 2</td></tr>
      <tr><td align="right" port="i3">item 3</td></tr>
      <tr><td align="right" port="i4">item 4</td></tr>
      </table>>]
    key2 [label=<<table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" cellborder="0">
      <tr><td port="i1">&nbsp;</td></tr>
      <tr><td port="i2">&nbsp;</td></tr>
      <tr><td port="i3">&nbsp;</td></tr>
      <tr><td port="i4">&nbsp;</td></tr>
      </table>>]
    key:i1:e -> key2:i1:w [style=dashed]
    key:i2:e -> key2:i2:w [color=gray]
    key:i3:e -> key2:i3:w [color=peachpuff3]
    key:i4:e -> key2:i4:w [color=turquoise4, style=dotted]
  }
  ...

I used dot.
