MATLAB: Does the legend move when resizing the plot in MATLAB 7.1 (R14SP3)

cornerlegendMATLABmoveplotresizerighttop

When I resize my plot, my legend moves along with this plot. This did not occur in MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2). I would like my legend to stay in the same position when I resize the plot.

This is the expected behavior for MATLAB 7.1 (R14SP3TC). This change was made so that the legend tracks the axes of the figure more closely.

As a workaround to make the legend appear on the top right corner without moving, type the following commands in the MATLAB command window:

h=legend
set(h,'Location','None')

This should fix the position of the legend when you use the camera tools.

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 3 (R14SP3). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

We have verified that this is a bug in MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1) in the way that legends are resized. There are currently no known work-arounds.

MATLAB: Does the LEGEND get relocated when zooming into a plot in MATLAB 7.1.0 (R14SP3)

This is an intended change in the behavior of the LEGEND in MATLAB 7.1.0 (R14SP3) incorporated to allow LEGEND to follow the plot box. However, you can explicitly set the 'Location' property of the LEGEND in order not to relocate from its original position as follows:

sphere;
h = legend('sphere');
set(h,'Location','none');

You can also interactively set the 'Location' property of the LEGEND to 'NONE' using the property inspector. Perform the following steps:

1. From the 'View' menu of the figure toolbar, select 'Property Editor '

2. Highlight the LEGEND and select 'Inspector' from its 'Property Editor'

3. Set the 'Location' property to 'none'
