Legend to latex converter

28 Sep 2009 (Updated 26 Nov 2009)

Code covered by the BSD License

This function converts a Matlab legend to a text annotation for latex interpretation.

File Information
Description	LEGEND2LATEX(FIGURE_HANDLE) Converts the present legends in the figure to legends that can be postprocessed using LaPrint. Note that all earlier legend2latex objects are removed. Can convert several line types and markers, but all may not look equally well. Ideally used in combination with LaPrint and a latex interpreter that uses the AMS math package (for the markers).

19 Oct 2009	Diane Bastien	Could you please give an example of how to use your program? What type FIGURE_HANDLE has to be? Thanks
28 Oct 2009	Emile Demarteau	Hi Diane, See below for an example of how this file can be used. I noted that the figure_handle is different from the figure_handle as expected by LaPrint. I use a direct handle, where LaPrint uses the figure number. Good luck, Emile %%%%% EXAMPLE %%%%%% set(0,'defaulttextinterpreter','none'); x = [0:0.1:(2*pi)]; fig1 = figure(1); plot(x,sin(x),x,cos(x)); legend('sin($\theta$)','cos($\theta$)'); xlabel('$0 \leq \theta \leq 2\pi$') legend2latex(fig1); laprint(1,'figure1');
