How to display only one legend for a figure with multiple plots?

Hello everyone,
I have two questions:
1) How can I display one unique legend for a figure with multiple plots?
2) Let assume 5,4,3, 2 and 1 as code for "very high", "High", "Moderate", "Low", and "Very Low" the values of my variable of interest. How can I display these characters strings instead of the value 5,4,3,2, and 1 in the legend?
Any thoughts for a code will be very much appreciated.

I got a better solution that the one with b = get(gca,'Children')
From MatLab Documentation under Legend>Specify Charts to Include in Legend
x = linspace(0,3*pi); y1 = sin(x); p1 = plot(x,y1);
hold on y2 = sin(x - pi/4); p2 = plot(x,y2);
y3 = sin(x - pi/2); p3 = plot(x,y3); hold off
legend([p1 p3],'First','Third')

Dear
thanks for your answer
if I have a figure that saved as " .fig", how can I display one unique legend for a figure with multiple plots?
Thanks again

Here is the answer: menation these line inside legend command 'orientation','horizontal'
example: legend('orientation','horizontal','name1','name2','name3')
some example:
____________Mutiple legend:_______________
t=0:0.001:1;
sig1=2*sin(2*pi*10*t);
sig2=2*cos(2*pi*10*t);
subplot 212;plot(sig1);hold on;plot(sig2);legend('sin','cos')
subplot 211;plot(sig1);hold on;plot(sig2);legend('sin','cos')
____________Single legend___________________
legend('Location','bestoutside','orientation','horizontal','sin','cos')
One can move anywhere from the figure editor.
Attached one more example.

"legend('string1','string2',...) displays a legend in the current axes using the specified strings to label each set of data." ~ Matlab docs.
This is the simplest way of assigning strings to the legend. The docs show other uses.
When you say you have multiple plots, do you mean multiple axis or just multiple data plots within one axis? If you have multiple axis then you can create a unique legend that specifies what you want by using the second method from the docs:
"legend(h,'string1','string2',...) displays a legend on the plot containing the objects identified by the handles in the vector h and uses the specified strings to label the corresponding graphics object (line, barseries, etc.)."

Yes, I saw that before, I'm not sure if raster data changes the method used. I'm not sure how raster data is dealt with in matlab, I dont use it. If you can get it to plot as in my example (convert it to a vector?) then this method should work for you.
Have I answered the original question about legends and multiple plots? Sorry I cant be much help with raster data use.
Cheers, Angus.
