在八度中更改图例的位置

Question

I want to display a legend below or right of multiple subplots, while keeping the aspect ratio of the subplots. Trying the approach of this answer , I wrote the following code:

x = [0:0.1:10];

figure();
for i=1:4
  subplot(3,2,i);
  plot(x, x);
endfor;

hSub = subplot(3,2,5:6); 
plot(0);
hLegend = legend('1');
set(hLegend, 'position', get(hSub, 'position'));

which produces:

The legend should replace the full plot 5. I couldn't find the property position at the octave documentation , so it's obviously not working.

Is there a way to change the legends position or another approach for printing the legend next to the subplots?

edit:

• Octave version: 4.0.3 GUI
• OS: Opensuse 42.2
• graphics_toolkit: tested with gnuplot , fltk and qt

I guess you want something like

x = [0:0.1:10];
figure();
for i=1:4
  subplot(3,2,i);
  plot(x, x);
endfor;

l = legend ("foobar")
hsub = subplot(3,2,5:6);
set (l, "position", get (hsub, "position"))
delete (hsub)

which gives
