Legend position change after printing

I draw a bar figure and set the legend using

      leg = legend('w/s QOS','w/o QOS','Location','best');

And then I try to save the figure using print

    fig2.PaperPositionMode = 'manual';
    fig2.PaperUnits = 'points';
    fig2.PaperPosition = ([0 0 1920 1080]);
    print('./figure/delay_avg','-djpeg');

The following figure is what I have in Matlab window

and the figure below is the figure saved in the file

As you can see, the position of the legend changes. Is this a bug of Matlab? I'm using R2015a

I have the same issue in 2014b. A big problem for a large automated report with thousands of figures.

Answer 2

[Abhinav Gupta]

This problem still exists in the R2021b. It would be great if this could be fixed!

Found a workaround :

l = findobj(gcf, 'type', 'legend');
set(l, 'Location', 'none');

before printing. It disables auto layout for legend and uses its current 'position' for printing. It works for me in R2017b.

It did the trick for me in 2019b, thanks !

What was the answer of the appropriate product team?

Answer 5

[Thorsten]

Use

set(gcf,'PaperPositionMode','auto');

before printing. It works for me (R1015b).

Answer 6

[Mark Kerssenfischer]

Indeed, I just ran into the same issue in Matlab R2021b.

Please fix it!
