This command adds a legend to the current plot. Currently, the following forms of the legend
command are supported. The first form creates a legend with the given labels for the data series:
legend('label1','label2',...)
where 'label1'
is the text label associated with data plot 1 and so on. You can also use the legend
command to control the appearance of the legend in the current plot. To remove the legend from the current plot, use
legend('off')
To hide the legend for the current plot (but do not remove it)
legend('hide')
And to show the legend that has been hidden, use
legend('show')
You can also toggle the display of the box surrounding the legend. Use
legend('boxoff')
or
legend('boxon')
to turn the legend box off or on, respectively. To toggle the visible state of the current legend, use
legend('toggle')
Specifying no arguments at all (apart from an optional location argument as specified below) results in the legend being rebuilt. This form is useful for picking up font changes or relocating the legend.
legend
By default, the legend
command places the new legend in the upper right corner of the current plot. To change this behavior, use the 'location'
specifier (must be the last two options to the command)
legend(...,'location',option)
where option
takes on the following possible values
north
,N
- top center of plot south
,S
- bottom center of plot east
,E
- middle right of plot west
,W
- middle left of plot northeast
,NE
- top right of plot (default behavior) northwest
,NW
- top left of plot southeast
,SE
- bottom right of plot southwest
,SW
- bottom left of plot This implementation of legend
is incomplete relative to the MATLAB API. The functionality will be improved in future versions of FreeMat.
