Using the Legend Function

To add a legend to a graph at the MATLAB command prompt or from an M-file, use the legend function. You must specify the text labels when you create a legend using the legend function.

For example, the following code adds a legend to the current axes.

• legend('Y1 Predator','Y2 Prey')
  

The legend function lets you specify many other aspects of the legend, such as its position. For more information, see the legend function reference information.
