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);

leg = legend('1','2','3');
leg.ItemTokenSize = [x1,x2];

Starting in R2024b, you can leverage the IconColumnWidth property on legend to increase the length of the line:
t = [0:0.1:2*pi]
t = 1×63
0 0.1000 0.2000 0.3000 0.4000 0.5000 0.6000 0.7000 0.8000 0.9000 1.0000 1.1000 1.2000 1.3000 1.4000 1.5000 1.6000 1.7000 1.8000 1.9000 2.0000 2.1000 2.2000 2.3000 2.4000 2.5000 2.6000 2.7000 2.8000 2.9000

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;
