Hi all,
I just made the following lines, simply I cannot make a multiple column legend.
If anyone knows how to deal with this, i would be very thankful!
Thanks in advance.
figure
bar(randn(4))
[xx,yy] = legend({'a','b','c','d'}, 'box','off','NumColumns', 4)

You cannot get multiple legend columns when you request the output of the legend icons.
[xx] = legend({'a','b','c','d'}, 'box','off','NumColumns', 4)

Thanks for the answer.
By the way, is there any way to have both outputs?
Or simply there is no need to have the second output when multiple columns are considered?

The code actively chooses backwards compatibility if there is more than one output argument. That causes the legend to be built diffrently.

But I need to increase the size of my MarkerSizes in my legend AND use two columns. Is there any way to do this?
%MWE of legend column and icon modification problem
close all, clearvars
x = 1:5; y = x.^2; %some data
figure
hold on
h = [scatter(x,5*x,200,'blue','filled','s'); ...
scatter(x,y,200,'red','filled','d')];
lgd = legend(h,{'Line','Quadratic'},'Location','Northwest');
lgd.NumColumns = 2; %want 2 columns for legend
figure
hold on
h = [scatter(x,5*x,200,'blue','filled','s'); ...
scatter(x,y,200,'red','filled','d')];
[lgd,icons] = legend(h,{'Line','Quadratic'},'Location','Northwest');
icons(3).Children.MarkerSize = 20; %want bigger MarkerSize for legend
icons(4).Children.MarkerSize = 20;

% But I cannot have both. In fact, using [lgd,icons] makes 2 columns
