MATLAB: How to put legend outside the chart

legend location

Hi,
I have problem with put legend outside the chart. The main problem is that the weekdays axis doesn't fit to chart.
This is my code:
ax1 = axes();
ax1.Box = 'on';
 
 y=[0.34 0.34]
 
a=area([0 35],y, 'FaceColor', [0.9 0.9 0.9],'LineStyle','none');
hold on
b=area([180 323],y, 'FaceColor', [0.9 0.9 0.9],'LineStyle','none');
hold on
c=area([468 611],y, 'FaceColor', [0.9 0.9 0.9],'LineStyle','none');
hold on
d=area([756 899],y, 'FaceColor', [0.9 0.9 0.9],'LineStyle','none');
hold on
f=plot(x, jh2L1, x, jh2L2, x, jh2L3, x, oh2L1, x, oh2L2, x, oh2L3)
a.HandleVisibility = 'off';
b.HandleVisibility = 'off';
c.HandleVisibility = 'off';
d.HandleVisibility = 'off';
legend('L1-background (no-load)','L2-background (no-load)','L3-background (no-load)','L1-load condition','L2-load condition','L3-load condition', 'Location', 'Northeastoutside')
ax=gca
xticks([1 24:24:1008]) 
xticklabels({'18:10','22:00','02:00','06:00','10:00','14:00','18:00','22:00','02:00','06:00','10:00','14:00','18:00','22:00','02:00','06:00','10:00','14:00','18:00','22:00','02:00','06:00','10:00','14:00','18:00','22:00','02:00','06:00','10:00','14:00','18:00','22:00','02:00','06:00','10:00','14:00','18:00','22:00','02:00','06:00','10:00','14:00','18:00'})
xtickangle(-60)
%ylabel('2nd harmonic time-profile')
xlim([1,1008]) 
ylim([0,0.34])
ax2 = axes();
hold(ax2);
ax2.Position = ax1.Position;
ax2.Color = 'none';
ax2.XAxisLocation = 'top';
ax2.YAxis.Visible = 'off';
plot(NaT, NaN); % to make x-axis datetime
ax2.XLim = [datetime(2001, 3, 28) datetime(2001, 4, 4)]+hours(8);
ax2.XTick = [ax2.XLim(1) ax2.XTick];
drawnow;
%ax2.XAxis.TickLabelFormat = 'MMM dd';
ax2.XAxis.TickLabelFormat = 'eeee';

Best Answer

The Position property of ax2 gets changed later when you resize the figure window. It is better to use linkprop(). Change the line 
ax2.Position = ax1.Position;
to
linkprop([ax1 ax2], 'Position')
