How to use 'layout' in nexttile to make the legend appear in the sixth position in 6 tiled chart?

Hi all,

if we have a 6 tiled chart. How do you use layout for legend to put the legend in the 6th tile?

Thanks

@Star Strider Hi, sorry for tagging you but you are super professional with MATLAB, so I thought you might know the answer to this one. I appreciate your time.

Hi,

Here is a realtively simple solution via an easy example:

A = randi([1, 5], 6);
p = bar(A);
legend(p(1,6),{'6-th tile'})

Good luck.

@Sulaymon Eshkabilov Hi, thanks but it's not doing what I wanted. It's showing the 6th one in the legend. I want the legend to appear in the 6th tile in a tiled chart which has 5 actual charts.

To put the legend in the 6th tile:

lgd = legend(names);     % assign legend to a variable
lgd.Layout.Tile = 6;     % specify the 6th tile

If you are adding a 'flow' of tiles in a for loop and don't know what number of tiles you will have, use:

figure(1)
tiledlayout("flow")

for x = Array_to_loop_through
    nexttile
    (some plot code using x)
end

lgd = legend(names);
lgd.Layout.Tile = numel(Array_to_loop_through) + 1 ;     % numel = number of elements
