legend overwriting plots,

Hello,

I am trying to create a new ui layout and it seems that the legend is overwriting my plots. The axes on which I have plotted the graph is a child of a panel that I created. I cant find a way to have the legend along with the plot. It always overwrites my plot. Can someone help

fig = figure()
panel{1} = uix.BoxPanel( 'Title', 'Panel 1', 'Parent', fig );
axes1 = axes( 'Parent', panel{1})
theta = 0:360;
plot1=plot(axes1,theta, sind(theta))
legend(plot1)

[Greg]

What is uix or uix.BoxPanel?

Hi Greg,

I am using the MATLAB GUI LAYOUT https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/47982-gui-layout-toolbox?s_tid=prof_contriblnk

uix.BoxPanel creates a small panel which can be moved and an axes or figure can be placed inside it

See if there is a 'location' option of legend() that will place your legend in a good place for all possible plots that you might have to draw. For example

legend('Curve 1', 'Curve2', 'Location', 'Northwest');

Hi Sankar,

Did you manage to solve the issue of the legend? I have exactly the same issue, I have spent hours looking into that and I do not manage to get it correct.

Your feedback would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Marc

Try not having your axes in panels like he did. It's worth a try.

Without using axes in panels or trying with BoxPanel it does the same. The legend overlaps the plot itself and despite of moving it to other location the plot of the axes object is no longer there.
