Columnlegend not working when plotting with errorbar

Hi,

I am trying to plot multiple lines with the function errorbar (it works). Then I want to use multicolumn for the legend, but this does not work. It works if I use plot instead of errorbar though.

Could you please help me? I need to separate my legend in more than 1 column since there are several data lines.

Thanks in advance!

It works for me (see below). What is the error you're getting and could you provide the code that produces the error? Are you using the 'NumColumns" parameter in the call to legend? What's multicolumn?

x = 0:.2:pi; 
y = sin(x); 
err = ones(size(x))*.2; 

figure;
eh = errorbar(x,y,err);
hold on
eh2 = errorbar(x,y./2,err); 

legend({'ex1','ex2'}, 'NumColumns',2)

Hi, I downloaded the function "multicolumn" to be able to do so when plotting. If I use NumColumns I receive the following error message: Unknown property: NumColumns. Apparently this functionality is available only in Matlab2018. I am using R2015.

I see. What's not working with your code? Are you getting an error (if so, please share it)? Is your legend empty? Could you share a snippet of code?

This is the error I receive when using columnlegend (which works when using plot instead of errorbar):

Error using matlab.graphics.primitive.Group/get There is no vertices property on the Group class. Error in columnlegend (line 97) vertices_1 = get(child, 'vertices');

Looks like the most recent version of this function as of July 13, 2018 addresses your concerns.

Found it, thanks!
