Simplest way to add a legend to the groups of a scatter plot
显示 更早的评论
Here is a trivial scatter plot that uses the default marker size (S=[]) and a vector C to assign three colors according to the current colormap.
M = magic(3);
S = [];
C = [1;1;1;2;2;2;3;3;3];
figure
scatter(M(:),sort(M(:)),S,C,'filled')
Is there a simple way to create a legend to the three colors?

gscatter(M(:),sort(M(:)),C)

Without gscatter fcn:
[~, I] = unique(C);
p = findobj(gca,'Type','Patch');
legend(p(I),'X','Y','Z')

I'd like to add a correction to this solution, since it doesn't work properly in my case (8.2.0.701 (R2013b)). The problem appears, when the number of elements corresponding to different colors is not the same, for instance:
C = [1;1;1;1;2;3;3;3;3];
As far as I understand, order of handles provided by findobj is inverted: point corresponding to the first element of M has the last position in the array p.
I suggest the following solution:
[~, I] = unique(C); %
I = length(C) - I(length(I):-1:1);
p = findobj(gca,'Type','Patch');
legend(p(I),'X','Y','Z');
