Or hold the Control key while selecting several legends (or lasso them all) and press the Delete key to delete them all. Restore it by double-clicking on the graph to bring up Format Graph dialog, go to the appropriate data set, and then check the option 'Revert legend to column title'. When you edit the legend itself, the link is broken. The two are hot linked so long as you only edit the column titles. When is the column title hot-linked to the legend, so edits to the column title appear on the graph? If you edit on the graph itself, you will lose the linkage between the column title and the legend. You can edit the column titles of the data table, or you can edit the legend directly on the graph. Enter a column title on the data table, and the graph legend will update. When you have not entered a column title. When does the legend simply say 'legend'? The legend is a symbol or bar followed by the data set name. If it plots only one data set, no legend is created automatically. Hidden object handles are still valid.When your graph includes more than one data set. Get, findobj, gca, gcf, gco, newplot, cla, clf, and close functions. If the object is not listed in the Children property of the parent, thenįunctions that obtain object handles by searching the object hierarchy or querying This optionīlocks access to the object at the command line, but permits This option is useful for preventing unintendedįrom within callbacks or functions invoked by callbacks, but notįrom within functions invoked from the command line.

If you specify this property as a function handle or cell array, you can access the object that is being created using the first argument of the callback function. Setting the CreateFcn property on an existing component has no effect. If you do not specify the CreateFcn property, then MATLAB executes a default creation function. MATLAB initializes all property values before executing the CreateFcn callback. This property specifies a callback function to execute when MATLAB creates the object. MATLAB evaluates this expression in the base workspace.įor more information about specifying a callback as a function handle, cell array, or character vector, see Create Callbacks for Graphics Objects.
