The following example demonstrates how to remove the legend border and legend background for MATLAB 5.3 (R11):

plot(rand(10,10));             % Generate a plot.

legend('a1', 'a2','a3','a4','a5','a6','a7','a8','a9','a10') % Add a legend

h = findobj('type', 'axes');  % Find all sets of axes

set(h(1), 'visible', 'off')    % Hides the legend's axes (legend border and background)

The following example demonstrates how to remove the legend border and legend background for MATLAB 6.0 (R12) and later versions:

plot(rand(10,10));             % Generate a plot.

legend('a1', 'a2','a3','a4','a5','a6','a7','a8','a9','a10') % Add a legend

legend boxoff                   % Hides the legend's axes (legend border and background)
