Legend: is it possible to remove the border while leaving the background color?

Dear MatLab users,

I would like to generalize my plot legends visualization, but the legend border and background seem to interact together (see example below). In this case, the boxoff command prevails over the background color, as it disables both. Is it possible to remove ONLY the legend border while leaving the background color?

A = rand(5,1) ;
on_off = 'off' ;
legendcolor = 'r' ;
plot(A) ;
leg = legend('My text') ;
set( leg , 'fontsize' , 20 , 'location' , 'east', 'color' , legendcolor , 'box' , on_off )
grid on

set( leg , 'fontsize' , 20 , 'location' , 'east', 'color' , 'g' , 'box' , 'on','edgecolor','g' )

Thanks, this partially solves my problem, but it doesn't solve the original question, as it seems not possible to have the command ... 'box' , 'off' ... AND the background legend on.

According to doc, "box" meant to include background and outline.

Legend box display, specified as one of these values:

• 'boxon' — Display the legend background and outline.
• 'boxoff' — Do not display the legend background and outline.

Thank you for the clarification!
