You can move the legend by pressing the left mouse button while the cursor is over the legend and dragging the legend to a new location. This ResizeFcn attempts to keep the legend the same size.
Legend installs a figure ResizeFcn, if there is not already a user-defined ResizeFcn assigned to the figure. legend positions the legend based on a variety of factors, such as what objects the legend obscures. MATLAB displays only one legend per axes. By default, the legend annotates the current axes. Legend associates strings with the objects in the axes in the same order that they are listed in the axes Children property. These handles enable you to modify the properties of the respective objects. text_strings - cell array of the text strings used in the legend.plot_h - handles of the lines and patches used in the plot.
LEGEND MATLAB PATCH
Legend('boxoff'), legend(axes_handle,'boxoff') Makes the legend in the current axes or the axes specified by axes_handle visible. Legend('show'), legend(axes_handle,'show') Makes the legend in the current axes or the axes specified by axes_handle invisible. Legend('hide'), legend(axes_handle,'hide') Removes the legend in the current axes or the axes specified by axes_handle. This is the same as legend(string_matrix(1,:),string_matrix(2,:).).Īssociates each row of the matrix string_matrix with the corresponding graphics object in the vector h.ĭisplays the legend for the axes specified by axes_handle. When plotting filled areas (patch or surface objects), the legend contains a sample of the face color next to the text label.ĭisplays a legend in the current axes using the specified strings to label each set of data.ĭisplays a legend on the plot containing the handles in the vector h, using the specified strings to label the corresponding graphics object (line, bar, etc.).Īdds a legend containing the rows of the matrix string_matrix as labels. For each line plotted, the legend shows a sample of the line type, marker symbol, and color beside the text label you specify.
Legend places a legend on various types of graphs (line plots, bar graphs, pie charts, etc.). Legend (MATLAB Functions) MATLAB Function Reference
