Legend puts a legend on the current plot using the specified strings as labels. Use independant strings (st1, st2, ...), a matrix of strings (matstr), or a cell array of strings (cell) to specify legends. Legend works on line graphs, bar graphs, etc. Be sure to call plot before calling legend.
pos optionally places the legend in the specified location:
-1 To the top right of the plot 0 Don't move the legend box (default) 1 Upper right-hand corner 2 Upper left-hand corner 3 Lower left-hand corner 4 Lower right-hand corner Some specific functions are directely avaliable using func:
show
- Show legends from the plot
hide
off
- Hide legends from the plot
boxon
- Draw a box around legends
boxoff
- Withdraw the box around legends

"on"
or"off"

"minor"
then the minor grid is toggled. When using a minor grid a second argument arg2 is allowed, which can be either"on"
or"off"
to explicitly set the state of the minor grid.See also: plot, semilogx, semilogy, loglog, polar, mesh, contour, bar, stairs, xlabel, ylabel, title.
