Align text of different entries in legend

How can I align the text of different entries in the legend, e.g. align it with respect to the dot ?

legend('h=1.5m','h=10.5m','h=100.5m')

Thanks a lot!

A simple solution is to use a sans serif font, such as courier, and pad with spaces:

% test data
d = rand(3,5);
bar(d');

labels = { '  h=1.5 m',' h=10.5 m','h=100.5 m' };
h = legend(labels, 'fontname', 'courier', 'fontweight', 'b');
