Legend with a variable in it

I am trying to add legend to a plot. The legend is a varibale. Some elemets in the vatiable has underscore (Sample_A1_A2). I used the code below for this purpose.

Name = Table.Properties.VariableNames{i};

legend(Name,'Location','Northwest');

(It is in a for loop. )

The resutled plot legend didn't include the underscore in the name, instead the letters right after the underscore are subscripted.

Any suggestion how I can get pass this?

Thanks.

Zhen - from legend properties you need to set the Interpreter property to none to display literal characters. Try doing

Name = Table.Properties.VariableNames{i};
legend(Name,'Location','Northwest','Interpreter', 'none');

or

Name = Table.Properties.VariableNames{i};
hLegend = legend(Name,'Location','Northwest');
set(hLegend, 'Interpreter', 'none');
