Subplot 'super' legend

Is there any new function that allows you to create a legend for all subplots?

Have a look at this similar query.You just need to hard code the position of the legend.

I was wondering whether there's a new way... thanks anyway

Actually, Matlab does support a global legend in recent releases.

Another answer on that same page provides a demonstration.

Hi. I find this post looking for the same. I found this and works fantastic. Almost 6 years and a pandemic later i hope this works for you. https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/387391-multiple-plots-with-same-legend#answer_309608

On this part you can put your list of string and thats it

legend('show')

[Adam Danz]

This only shows object plotted on the current axes. For example, it doesn't work in this example below. However you can add a global legend by following one of the example in the other answer in the link you shared.

figure
subplot(211)
plot(rand(2,5))
subplot(212)
plot(rand(1,5))
legend('show')
