MATLAB: Subplot ‘super’ legend

legendsubplot

Is there any new function that allows you to create a legend for all subplots?

Have a look at this similar query.You just need to hard code the position of the legend.

MATLAB: Plot – add legend individually

If you are working with a fairly recent version of Matlab (> R2014b I think) then you can edit an existing legend if you keep the handle to it:

figure; hAxes = gca;
plot(hAxes, x1, y1, '-vr', 'LineWidth', linewidth, 'MarkerSize', markersize);
hLegend = legend( hAxes, 'stuff' );
hold( hAxes, 'on' )
plot(hAxes, x2, y2, '-vr', 'LineWidth', linewidth, 'MarkerSize', markersize);
hLegend.String{2} = 'other stuff';

It is more efficient to do all the plots first and then put the legend up for all of them though.

MATLAB: Legend does not refresh after hold command

I have just noticed that there was no answer . Since this question I found 3 workarounds :

2 solutions on my blog

This is one :

plot(1:10,’b',’displayname’,’1st graph’)
legend(‘-DynamicLegend’);
legend(‘show’)
hold on
plot(3:5,’r',’displayname’,’2ng graph’)
legend(‘show’)
