On my legend in the Layout view how can I symbolize the square patch as a hexagon to match the layer shape using Graduated colors? I can change the symbology to Graduated Symbols and change the symbol shape that way, but then of course they are graduated in size. Even when I change them all to be the same point size they change based on the map scale, so I don't want graduated symbols. I need graduated colors, but I can't seem to change the patch shape using that method. I normally wouldn't care if the legend shape matched the data shape, but I will be overlaying some more data that is in a square grid instead of a hex grid, which will make it confusing.
This seems like making the legend patch size should be a simple thing, but I've spent about 3 hours trying to figure this out with settings and just can't. Alternatively I can export this as an SVG and bring it into an image editing program, but I have several of these to produce and simply don't want to have to do that given the time constraints.

This might do it:
- Open the Symbology pane for the layer.
- Click
- Pick a patch shape
