MATLAB: Can users pre-determine the legend location when utiliznig the gscatter function

gscatterlegend locationStatistics and Machine Learning Toolbox

I'm putting together an M-file where I include several group scatter plots. For unknown reasons, I'm unable to pre-determine the legend location (NorthEastOutside). I can determine the location after the plot is created by manually editing the figure properties.

Is this a limitation of the function?

The current answer is no.

Using the same example as above, the gscatter command will not allow the user to pre-position the legend. One workaround is to find the handle to the legend object and set the legend to the desired position.

load discrim figure, gscatter(ratings(:,1),ratings(:,2),group,'br','xo', [], 'on') % Find the handle to the legend object and set position l= findobj(gcf,'tag','legend'); set(l,'location','northeastoutside');

MATLAB: Re-order legend but mismatch colour

You need to reorder the handle as well. Something like this ...

legend(f1(neworder), labels(neworder))

Here is an example adapted from the documentation for gscatter:

load discrim
figure
f1 = gscatter(ratings(:,1),ratings(:,2),group,'br','xo');
legendText = {'g1','g2'};
newOrder = [2 1];
legend(f1(newOrder),legendText(newOrder))
