Sorry if this has been done before but after 30 minutes searching I can't find.
I have a figure with several vertically stacked subplots each containing one to four lines. It's in a paper where space it always at a premium; I can't waste space outside the subplots and there's not much space inside for the 'location','best' option.
Ideally I want to have the legend above the plot (title location) saying:
( linecolour caption1 linecolour caption2 )......
not
linecolour caption 1
linecolour caption 2
etc.
(putting outside right squeezes the plot and due to varying caption width the plot areas will differ so it's not a solution).
Excel can do it (not an option to use it tho). Without resorting to low level text/line commands I can't find a way to do this in MATLAB.
Clues welcome!

These days you can just specify 'Orientation' to be 'vertical': http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/legend.html#bt6s91s

thanks Jan and Daniel, the simple one works best for a quick fix, the other two don't like my strings/data form but I'll investigate the flexibility later.
