This functions goes to extreme lengths to create a shortened legend, e.g. a legend with shorter lines segments then the standard legend. It is intended to be used before saving a figure. Any changes to the axes after the resized legend is created may result in strange behavior.
Example:
figure;
plot(rand(10,3));
resizeLegend();
