Verified with new legend.m.  Marking as fixed and closing report.

legend.m has been rewritten (for OpenGL toolkits only). This bug should now be fixed.

Marking ready for test.

Confirmed.  The example can be simplified by using just a single plot.  See the example transcript below.


octave:6> plot ([1, 2])
octave:7> get (gca, 'position')
ans =

   0.13000   0.11000   0.77500   0.81500

octave:8> legend ("foo", "location", "northwestoutside")
octave:9> get (gca, 'position')
ans =

   0.14131   0.11000   0.68968   0.81500

octave:10> .775 - .14131
ans =  0.63369
octave:11> .775 - .13
ans =  0.64500
octave:12> .68968 - .14131
ans =  0.54837


As you can see, legend is not only shifting the axes position to the right to make room for the label "foo", but it is shrinking the width of the axes by more than is required.  I can restore the full size by expanding the width field of the axes "position" property back to what it should be.


octave:13> pos = get (gca, 'position')
pos =

   0.14131   0.11000   0.68968   0.81500

octave:14> pos(3) = (0.775 - (.14131 - 0.13))
pos =

   0.14131   0.11000   0.76369   0.81500

octave:15> set (gca, 'position', pos)


I'll check to see if this is an easy fix, but it might have to wait until the first bug fix release for the 5.0 branch.

Yeah, I can confirm this with the qt toolkit in Octave 4.4 and 5. It does not occur with gnuplot.

figure(1);
for ii=[3 2 1];
  subplot(1,3,ii);
  plot([1 2]);
endfor
ii=1; legend('foo', 'location' , 'northwestoutside');

Reporting per jwe's suggestion. This is with octave 4.2.2. Can anyone verify if this still exists in a later octave?
