switching from 2013b VERSION TO 2020. Accessing figure handle from plot command

If this line handle is used as handle to this line only and the code does not assume, that it a double, the existing code should run without changes. So please post the part of the code, which is failing.

legend is one of the commands with the most changes between the Matlab versions. Some changes are useful, many are not compatible. What do you want to do with the line handles? See:

In HG1 the handles of the legend's line objects have been replied as further output arguments. I've used them to attach callbacks to let the user move a line to the top by clicking in the legend, if the line is hidden behind others. In another case I've removed markers from the legend, because they are useful in a diagram only.

I have the need to write code, which runs under R6.5, 2009a and 2018b. I found many workarounds, e.g. creating my own graphic handles as pseudo-object using structs, and created an own string library for the useful commands: contains, startsWith etc. But legend is a severe problem, because the feature are changing too rapidly and there is no chance to get a stable set of methods for such tweaks as mentioned above.

My solution is not to use the legend command for productive work.

I'm very happy that only unique,union,intersect,setdiff and strncmp have a comparably high variability between the Matlab versions.

leg_str.mat

Hey Jan,

i will try to explain my problem in detail ,i.e. what used to happen in 2013b version

Imagine i have a figure with six line handles ,with all line handles stored in phdl_bc

Apart from this i created an extra line handle named ep_hdl and used it 3 times

ep_hdl=plot(1,1,'Visible','off','Color','k');

now i was using these handles in legend command

hleg2=legend([ep_hdl,ep_hdl,ep_hdl,phdl_bc], leg_str);

here my leg_str was

(attached)

and the legend displayed was as below

the resultant hleg2 was a handle

this hleg2 was used further to make changes to the legend

nr_headdescr=6;
leg_line=findobj(hleg2,'type','Line');
for i=1:length(leg_line)
    leg_tag=get (leg_line(i),'Tag');
    if isempty (regexp(ref_total,leg_tag)) || ~isempty(leg_tag)  || strcmp(leg_tag,borderstyle)
        set (leg_line(i),'LineStyle', 'none')
    elseif isempty(leg_tag) && i<length(leg_line)-nr_headdescr
        set (leg_line(i),'Marker', '.')
        set (leg_line(i),'MarkerSize', 20)
    end
end

The resultant legend now looked like this

----------------------------------------Now same code in 2020b version----------------------------------------------------

now my phdl_bc as u mentioned in HG2 interface looks like

and similarly ep_hdl

and now when i use legend command as previously i get

hleg2=legend([ep_hdl,ep_hdl,ep_hdl,phdl_bc], leg_str);

notice the missing text in first two lines of legend and also third line.(1st Issue)

similarly now hleg2 which is to be used later looks like

the leg_str was same as enclosed.

also 2nd issue is now i am not able to process the following block of code as earlier

nr_headdescr=6;
leg_line=findobj(hleg2,'type','Line');
for i=1:length(leg_line)
    leg_tag=get (leg_line(i),'Tag');
    if isempty (regexp(ref_total,leg_tag)) || ~isempty(leg_tag)  || strcmp(leg_tag,borderstyle)
        set (leg_line(i),'LineStyle', 'none')
    elseif isempty(leg_tag) && i<length(leg_line)-nr_headdescr
        set (leg_line(i),'Marker', '.')
        set (leg_line(i),'MarkerSize', 20)
    end
end

this is because the second line of above code i.e. leg_line is now empty, its not able to find any line object

this is my problem, i have tried to describe it to maximum extent. Any help would be higly appreciated .

Thanks in Advance

Prior to the major graphics changes in release R2014b legend created an axes. As of release R2014b it now creates a legend object instead. See pages 1-29 and 1-30 in this PDF documentation for more information.
