07 Feb 2012 Rotate X-axis tick labels Rotate x-tick labels to any angle, preserving font settings and coping with resize, zoom, pan etc Author: Ben Tordoff

Hi,
On screen everything looks fine. However, when I try to print, the tick labels disappear, same as for Wolfgang. I'm running MATLAB 2011b (7.13.0.564) on Windows 7 (x64 version). All plot settings are at the default.

Other than that, great function!

Here's the test script that used:

%------------------
clear all
close all
clc

x = 1:0.2:2.8;
y = x.^2;
plot(x,y);
xlab = get(gca,'XTickLabel');
xlab = num2str(xlab);
set(gca,'XTickLabel',xlab);
xlabel('X axis label');
ylabel('Y axis label');
title('Plot title');
rotateXLabels(gca, 45)
set(gcf, 'PaperPositionMode', 'auto');
print('-dpng','plot.png');
27 Oct 2011 Edit linestyles of plot legends Simple fix for adding markers to plot legend lines. Author: Johan Carlson

It appears MATLAB does not save exactly what has been drawn, but some command that should recreate it, in this case the legend command. So, re-running the legend command will of course destroy the changes made by legendlinestyles.m

A workaround would be to save the code you used to create the plot, rather than the fig itself. This is what I always do, which is probably why I never ran into this problem.

So, my conclusion is that this is a problem with how MATLAB saves figures, not with legendlinestyles.m as such. Will play around with some other legend changes, though, and see where it takes me.
27 Oct 2011 Edit linestyles of plot legends Simple fix for adding markers to plot legend lines. Author: Johan Carlson

If I print (or export) figures to, for example, .eps, everything works. If I save to a .fig file, I get the same error. Very strange, indeed, and I'm not even sure where to start looking. It's like MATLAB arbitrarily discards of some of the manually entered annotations.

Anyway, will look into it. Please keep me posted if you find a solutions.

Mario,
I deliberately removed the end tick labels in on the axes, simply because I didn't think it looked so good. It appeared that changing this takes a bit of fixing of the code to make the arrowheads appear in the right place. Anyway, I'm on it, and I'll post a new version in a couple of days.

I now posted an updated version, incorporating the changes suggested by Martin. It should be available for download any day now.

13 Dec 2011 Edit linestyles of plot legends Simple fix for adding markers to plot legend lines. Author: Johan Carlson Steven

It was easy enough to add this myself, but it'd be nice to let the user specify the linewidth. I used this on a plot with several different line widths making the results unpredictable with the current program. Sometimes I would like to have all the same linewidths in the legend.

Otherwise, this was exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks!

thanks! that's exactly what i need!
just one problem...if i save the figure and open it again, the legend is without the marker :(
can someone help me?
