update legend

With this function you can refresh the existing legend.

Description

This function allows refreshing of the existing legend. It works like standard 'plot' command, but you have to pass like arguments the property tag. It is mandatory. Maybe there is some bug...you can correct it.

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 6.1 (R12.1)

[Jared Millington]

This doesn't quite work as well as it could. The function input arguments should be varargin rather than (var1,var2,varargin). This will fix the problem of needing 'tag' and 'property_tag' arguments. This was caused by the for/loop found on line 23. It would be quicker to use get(...) and set(...) to change the color, linetype, marker, string name, etc.

% get the legends handle
leg = findobj(gcf,'Type','axes','Tag','legend');
% delete it an load it again:
delete(leg);
legend show;

% certainly now not an all matching solution, but it might help some of you...
