Details:

legend() emits a spurious error. Changing arg order is a workaround.


octave:1> plot(1:2)
octave:2> legend({"label"}, 'location', 'southeast', 'fontsize', 14)
warning: legend: specifying location with a numeric argument is obsolete and
will be removed from a future version of Octave, use a string specification
instead
warning: called from
    legend at line 211 column 7
error: legend: invalid location specified
error: called from
    legend at line 218 column 9
octave:2> legend({"label"}, 'fontsize', 14, 'location', 'southeast');
octave:3> version
ans = 5.2.0
