Hello, I would like to increase the length (not linewidth) of the line inside the legend. Does anyone has an idea? Thanks you.
 t = [0:0.1:2*pi]
a = sin(t);
b = cos(t);
plot(t,a,t,b,'linewidth',3)
l = legend({'Sinus','Cosinus'},...
     'location','southwest','FontName','TimesNewRoman','FontSize',20);

      I don't think it is customizable directly, go to the following links to user-defined function-

        Starting in R2024b, you can leverage the IconColumnWidth property on legend to increase the length of the line: 
 t = [0:0.1:2*pi]
a = sin(t);
b = cos(t);
plot(t,a,t,b,'linewidth',3)
l = legend({'Sinus','Cosinus'},...
     'location','southwest','FontName','TimesNewRoman','FontSize',20);
l.IconColumnWidth = 60;
