Could anyone help me how to have the legend as in the desired manner for two y axis.

Could anyone help me how to write the legend with two y axis as in the desired format.

I have generated the line graph with two y axis , 5 lines for lefy y axis and 5 lines for right y axis so total 10 lines

Now I want to have the legend in a manner that left y axis should be dotted line with different marker and right y axis should be solid line with the marker similar to left y axis.

Could anyone please help me on this.

Show us your code. And first acknowledge the previous questions you have asked.

[jaah navi]

x=1:10
y1=rand(1,10)
y2=rand(1,10)
y3=rand(1,10)    
y4=rand(1,10)
figure(1)
[hAX,hLine1,hLine2] = plotyy(x, [y1; y3], x, [y2; y4], @(X,Y)semilogy(X,Y), @(X,Y)plot(X,Y));
set(hLine1(1),'LineStyle','-','Marker','*', 'Color', 'r');
set(hLine1(2),'LineStyle','-','Marker','o', 'Color', 'b');
set(hLine2(1),'LineStyle','--','Marker','*', 'Color', 'r');
set(hLine2(2),'LineStyle','--','Marker','o', 'Color', 'b');
set(gca,'XTick',[1:1:10])
xlabel('persons')
ylabel(hAX(1),'weight') % left y-axis 
ylabel(hAX(2),'height') % right y-axis
grid on;
lgd=columnlegend(2,{'Batch 1','Batch 2 ','Batch 1','Batch 2'})

when I run the code i am getting the legend in the graph as follows

But actually i want 'Batch 1','Batch 2 ' to be displayed once with markers alone followed by solid line mentioning weights and dotted line mentioning heights.

Could you please help me on this.

Change the last line

x=1:10;
y1=rand(1,10);
y2=rand(1,10);
y3=rand(1,10);  
y4=rand(1,10);
figure(1)
[hAX,hLine1,hLine2] = plotyy(x, [y1; y3], x, [y2; y4], @(X,Y)semilogy(X,Y), @(X,Y)plot(X,Y));
set(hLine1(1),'LineStyle','-','Marker','*', 'Color', 'r');
set(hLine1(2),'LineStyle','-','Marker','o', 'Color', 'b');
set(hLine2(1),'LineStyle','--','Marker','*', 'Color', 'r');
set(hLine2(2),'LineStyle','--','Marker','o', 'Color', 'b');
set(gca,'XTick',[1:1:10])
xlabel('persons')
ylabel(hAX(1),'weight') % left y-axis 
ylabel(hAX(2),'height') % right y-axis
grid on;
lgd=legend({'Batch 1','Batch 2 '});

Ok. But I want only the marker to be mentioned in batch 1 and batch 2 without any lines.In addition a solid line to indicate weight and dotted line to indicate height should be added to the legend. Could you please help me on this.

I want to have the legend as seen below. Could you please help me on this.

Though I don't recommend such manual adjustment, it can be done:

x=1:10;
y1=rand(1,10);
y2=rand(1,10);
y3=rand(1,10);  
y4=rand(1,10);
figure(1)
[hAX,hLine1,hLine2] = plotyy(x, [y1; y3], x, [y2; y4], @(X,Y)semilogy(X,Y), @(X,Y)plot(X,Y));
set(hLine1(1),'LineStyle','-','Marker','*', 'Color', 'r');
set(hLine1(2),'LineStyle','-','Marker','o', 'Color', 'b');
set(hLine2(1),'LineStyle','--','Marker','*', 'Color', 'r');
set(hLine2(2),'LineStyle','--','Marker','o', 'Color', 'b');
set(gca,'XTick',[1:1:10])
xlabel('persons')
ylabel(hAX(1),'weight') % left y-axis 
ylabel(hAX(2),'height') % right y-axis
grid on;
axes(hAX(2)); hold on
text(7, 0.2, '* Batch 1', 'FontSize', 8); text(8.5, 0.2, 'o Batch 2', 'FontSize', 8);
plot([7 8], [0.15 0.15], 'b-'); plot([7 8], [0.1 0.1], 'b--');
text(8.5, 0.15, 'height', 'FontSize', 8);
text(8.5, 0.1, 'weight', 'FontSize', 8)

th(1) = plot(nan,nan,'*', 'displayname', 'Batch 1');
th(2) = plot(nan,nan,'o', 'displayname', 'Batch 2');
th(3) = plot(nan,nan,'-', 'displayname', 'height');
th(4) = plot(nan,nan,'--', 'displayname', 'weight');
legend(th, 'show')

when I run the command i am getting error stating Error using legend>process_inputs

Invalid argument. Type 'help legend' for more information.
