Legend in several columns

Hi,

Every time I wanted to split my legend into more than one column I always used the function "columnlegend".

Now i am creating plots with a loop, as below:

    legendLables=[];
    for iM=1:length(Mvec)
        plot(Xvec,F(iM,:), '*-', 'LineWidth',3,'Markersize',3); hold all
        legendLables=[legendLables,{['$M=' num2str(Mvec(iM)) '$']}];
    end

In this case the function columnlegend does not work, when I use:

    columnlegend(6,legendLables,'NorthWest');

or

    columnlegend(6,legendLables{:},'NorthWest');

Coudl you please help me?

Thanks in advance!

What difficulty are you observing when you use the File Exchange contribution columnlegend() ?

I used 'NumColumns',2 with the normal Legend command and it works.

I am using Mtalab R2017b, but when I used

legend({'cluster1','cluster2','cluster3','cluster4','cluster5','cluster6'},'NumColumns',2)

it produced this error:Unknown property: NumColumns.

what should I do? we can not legend with multiple columns in older versions?
