Hi Robin,

Sorry to hear that my routine has trouble with the long legend titles, I've had a quick look at it and I can see where the problem lies. It's possible to apply a quick fix it but then it messes up the short titles.

My first suggestion in the specific example you have posted is to just use the standard legend function in MATLAB, if you apply the 'orientation','horizontal' pair to legend then you'll get a one row, two column legend.

Obviously this won't help if you want a 2x2 legend with long titles. In this case for the minute you'll have to tweak the code.

At line 232

% resize the data aspect ratio to match the new shape.
set(legend_h,'dataaspectratio',[width/gd gd/numpercolumn 1]);

You'll need to tweak the aspect ratio, in your case factor the y-axis by 4.
% resize the data aspect ratio to match the new shape.
set(legend_h,'dataaspectratio',[width/gd 4*gd/numpercolumn 1]);

I'm still looking at improving the calculation so that it'll do it automatically but for the minute I hope this helps.

Regards
Adrian

gridLegend doesn't seem to work when the figure contains subplots (it messes up the sizes of the subplots).
Is there any fix for this?

Is there any way to adjust the spacing between two columns? Thanks.

Hi there, will this work on scatter plots? Thanks!
