Thread Subject: latex in legend

Hi,

I have absolutely no trouble labeling my x and y axes with equations:
xlabel('$\frac{1}{r^3}$','Interpreter','latex')

But this doesn't work if I want to have equations for my LEGEND entries. Does anyone know how to put an equation in the legend entries with latex ??

Yes, for some reason you have to set the interpreter after the legend is
created. For example,

  h = legend('$\frac{1}{r^3}$');
  set(h,'Interpreter','latex')
