I noticed that setting a legend "textposition" property redefines the entire legend. For example : octave-3.6.1:2> plot(1:10) octave-3.6.1:3> h = legend ("toto"); octave-3.6.1:4> set (h, "textposition", "right") ## changes textposition
octave-3.6.1:5> set (h, "textposition", "left") ==> error: set: invalid handle (= -7.3835)
