Positioning legend using JHandles

[Matthew Bennett-2]

Hi All,

As a new user coming from a MATLAB background I’m very impressed by Octave
and the JHandles graphics package. While JHandles can do almost everything I
want it to, repositioning the legend box is one thing I haven’t had any luck
with (v0.3.3). Have I missed a trick? Otherwise, is this functionality
expected in a forthcoming update?

Great work everyone,

Matt

There's is the "location" property of the legend object.
This property support the same set of values as in Matlab
(maybe not all of them). You can't reposition the legend
using the mouse.

So I did miss a trick then! Many thanks for your prompt response Michael.

I had been unsuccessful using:
legend('test', 'Location', 'NorthWest');

But following your advice I can do:
legend('test');
set(legend, 'Location', 'NorthWest');

(I see I can use the legend function directly in 'set' as it just returns
the handle when called, so I can move the legend without needing to save the
handle when I first created it, or need to find it using
findobj(gcf,'tag','legend'))

Thanks again

Matt
