Legend Entries for Contours

In R2014a I have code that created a contour plot of a 50% and 90% quantile using the following

>> vec=[.9,.5]; % Reliability contours to plot

>> [mC hC] = contour(exp(Ymle),exp(Xmle),Zmle,vec,'ShowText','off');

>> set(get(get(hC,'Annotation'),'LegendInformation'), 'IconDisplayStyle','Children');

>> legend('90%', '50%');

>> legend('show');

>> set(gca, 'XScale', 'log');

The plot I get is what I wanteded with two separate legend entries:

But when I try to do these same commands in R2014b or higher get:

Warning: Ignoring extra legend entries.

> In legendHGUsingMATLABClasses>set_children_and_strings (line 650)

In legendHGUsingMATLABClasses>make_legend (line 313)

In legendHGUsingMATLABClasses (line 241)

In legend (line 118)

And on the plot there is only one entry for the legend

How can I get the first version (separate legend entries for each contour) in R2014b and higher?

This is somewhat clunky, but you could convert the contour matrix to xyz data with C2xyz and plot each line separately using plot.

What if your contour plot is a filled contour plot?
