Hi, my task would be to have a legend which is update dynamically as I loop over some data extracted from different files and I add them to a same plot, for instance. To put it better, I would like to "append" a label to my legend every time I update my plot. Would you know how to do it?

plot(Pss,'DisplayName','desired legend entry')
legend('-DynamicLegend')
Place that after your first plot and it will automically put the name of the plot variable into the legend.
Note that dynamic legends did not exist at the time the original question was asked in 2011.
Those were the days.
Jon Bailey you are a dynamic legend. Thanks

clf
clc
hold all
x=0:0.01:2*pi;
b=zeros(5);
for a=1:5
b(a)=plot(x,sin(a*x));
legend(b(1:a))
pause(1) %just to see it being draw
end
Alternative with choosen names for each plot
clf
clc
hold all
x=0:0.01:2*pi;
b=zeros(5);
c={'one','two','three','four','five'};
for a=1:5
b(a)=plot(x,sin(a*x));
legend(b(1:a),c(1:a))
pause(1)
end

How are you updating the plot? In a loop?
Yes, in a simple loop. Data come from different structures, but this is not so important. Basically, I want to avoid this:
legend(ss(1).name,ss(2).name,ss(3).name);
where ss(i) are structures. Every time I run my code, I can chose the number of structures to create, so I do not want to modify my legend as a function of this but, instead, do it automatically (so if I have 5 structures, I expect 5 corresponding labels in my legend, no need to modify the code by hand).
Thanks, Chiara
