The legend box in plot has no colors

The legend box in matlab has no colours.

This is the code:

x = linspace(0,pi);

y1 = cos(x);

plot(x,y1,'DisplayName','cos(x)')

hold on

y2 = cos(2*x);

plot(x,y2,'DisplayName','cos(2x)')

hold off

This is a known problem with recent AMD graphics drivers.

See for example: Lines in legend are missing

Updated drivers that solve this problem may by now be available.

Hey Arihant,

Although I'm unable to reproduce the error that you mention at my end, I have noticed a few instances where other users have reported the same issue. Here are the links to those discussion on the MATLAB Answers forum:

As a workaround, please perform a clean reinstall of MATLAB and update your graphics drivers to get your code to work as expected.

Hope this helps!

Hi, I have the same issue. I resolved it by imposing LineWidth. Once you have set it, you will have full legend! Try this little code in order to check

x=0:0.1:10;

y=sin(x);

z=sin(2*x);

figure(1)

plot(x,y,'LineWidth',2)

ylim([-2 2])

hold on

plot(x,z,'LineWidth',2)

grid on

legend ('sin(x)','sin(2x)')

Hope this help!
