Legend Displays Wrong Colors when Plotting Multiple Functions R2015b

116 visualizaciones (últimos 30 días)
When trying to display a legend corresponding to a scatter plot, the color of the markers do not correspond to the colors in the plot. If more than one function is plotted on the same axes, the legend will make all markers the color of the most recently plotted function. I have tested this on several computers running 2015b and the error persists. I've tested the exact same code on R2014b and everything works fine.
Sample Code:
x1 = 1:0.2:3;
y1 = 1:0.2:3;
x2 = 5:0.2:7;
y2 = 1:0.2:3;
scatter(x1,y1);
hold on;
scatter(x2,y2);
legend('red','blue');
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Joseph,
Even though this is a known bug, here's how you can solve it manually.
1. Double click the wrong color legend item in 'Figure Properties' window. 2. Change the name of the item to something like 'Test1'. 3. Press Escape. 4. Color should change to what it should have been. 5. Double click and change the name of the legend item to what you originally wanted.

FRom the bug report this was an easy fix:
3.Call the legend function with two or more output arguments:
s1 = scatter(1:10,1:10,[],1:10);
hold on
s2 = scatter(2:11,1:10,[],26:35);
[h, ~] = legend('show');
Use this workaround when the points within each scatter plot are different colors.

Hi Joseph,
x1 = 1:0.2:3;
y1 = 1:0.2:3;
x2 = 5:0.2:7;
y2 = 1:0.2:3;
h1 = scatter(x1,y1);
hold on;
h2 = scatter(x2,y2);
legend([h1(1),h2(1)],'red','blue');
