### Creating a legend for sets of data points

• Follow

Trying to create a single legend for a graph with 8 data points corresponding to a set of data and 12 points for another set (trying to create a legend w/ 2 entries..1 for each set).

figure(1)
for i=1:12
hold on
p5=plot(sw3(1,i).delovx,sw3(1,i).BLgrowth,'.g');
end

for i=13:20
p10=plot(sw3(1,i).delovx,sw3(1,i).BLgrowth,'.b');
end

xlabel('\delta_{95}/x')
%ylabel('\phiRe_x^\alpha')
set(gca,'Color','w','XColor',[0.8 1 0.7],'YColor',[0.8 1 0.7])

How do I create a legend w/ entries for the data in p5 and p10??

Much appreciated,
-Jeff

I suggest that instead of using plot to draw one point at a time, that
you gather the coordinates together and use scatter(). Then you can
legend() against the handles returned by scatter()

x = [sw3(1,1:20).delovx];
y = [sw3(1,1:20).BLgrowth];
p5 = scatter(x(1:12),y(1:12),'g');
hold on
p10 = scatter(x(13:20),y(13:20),'b');
xlabel(....)
ylabel(....)
legend(p5,'betty')
legend(p10,'veronica')
set(....)

Interesting, Walter.............
I would do it this way:
legend([p5 p10],'betty','Veronica',...
'Location','SouthOutside',...
'Orientation','Horizontal')
