Hi All, If I have a figure with three line plots, and I only want to include the 2nd and 3rd lines in the legend, I see I cannot yet do this (MATLAB style) using JHandles:
lines = get(gca, 'Children'); legend(lines(2:3), '2nd', '3rd'); By modifying the legend object itself, I've had some success in making blank spaces where the unwanted legend entries are (removing the triple handles in the legend object's children corresponding to each entry), but the remaining entries are not shifted into the new space and the legend box is not resized. I think the JHandle's legend.m would need modifying to recognise when it is passed an array of axes object children. The axes object java function makeLegend(names) would need changing to something like makeLegend(children, names) and the function's for loop when adding the children to the legend would need to be modified appropriately. Unfortunately I'm no java programmer (I couldn't even find the java source in the package?) but I would otherwise would have been happy to help add this myself. I know I can plot only the entries I want to a figure, add the legend, then plot the remaining lines to give a similar functionality. However, this doesn't work when the legend is refreshed/modified or if I need any unwanted lines plotting under wanted lines. This is still ok for what I currently need though. I know this is only a very minor problem - and needless to say I remain very impressed by the scope of JHandles. Do let me know if I've missed another way of doing this (similarly to what I had done in my previous post!)
