How to label different lines in a loglog plot
Show older comments
I have a bunch of different loglog plots of different power spectral density functions on the same graph (using hold on function) and I am trying to add labels to be able to differentiate the different lines. Does anyone know how to do this? I have many different loglog(psd(A)) for example, and would like to have a legend to be able to tell which color corresponds to which letter (ie blue line is A). New to matlab so would appreciate any help! Thanks!

Here's two ways. You can use a legend or you can use text to manually place a label where you want it:
x = logspace(-1,2);
y = exp(x);
loglog(x,y,'bs-')
y2 = exp(x.^1.2);
hold on
loglog(x,y2,'r')
legend('y1','y2','location','northwest')
text(x(45),y(45),'y1','color','b','vert','top')
text(x(45),y2(45),'y2','color','r','horiz','right')
