How can I add a legend to my contour plot? Why is CLEGENDM only available as part of the Mapping Toolbox? This function would save lots of time when creating a legend for a contour plot, and having a similar feature in base MATLAB is something most users would like to see.

There is no equivalent to CLENGENDM in base MATLAB. Here is an example that shows how you can add a legend to a contour plot:
clc
clear all
close all
x = -3:0.125:3;
y = -3:0.125:3;
[X,Y] = meshgrid(x,y);
Z = peaks(X,Y);
v = -2 : 1 : 2;
figure
contour(X,Y,Z,v);
leg = arrayfun(@num2str,v,'UniformOutput',false);
hc = get(gca,'children');
c = {leg};
legend(get(hc,'Children'),'String',c{:})
