legend for selected plot objects in MATLAB figure (1 answer)

Closed 9 years ago.

I have several plots in a MATLAB code. But handling the legend colors each time is painful. Is there a way to name plots such as plot1=... and then using this name attaina color to a corresponding legend?

legend(plot1, 'series 1', 'series 2');

plot1 is called the figure handle
