Hi,
My question is quite simple :
I have the following code :
figure;
A = loglog(...)
hold on
B = loglog(...)
C = loglog(...)
str = sprintf('3SRS - Run %d - Dir %d', run, dir);
title(str);
xlabel('Fréquences [Hz]');
ylabel('Accel (G)');
legend( [A B C], '...','...','...' );
filename = str;
saveas(figure(1),filename,'fig');
close figure 1
And it appears that the figure is correctly saved in .fig but the legend isn't displayed when i open the saved *.fig
Thanks in advance. O.G.

Hm yes sorry, it was just an example... The '...' are full filled with my data. I put some '...' because you coudn't acces to my data.

Try this,
figure;
A = loglog(1:50)
hold on
B = loglog(1:50)
C = loglog(1:50)
str = sprintf('3SRS - Run %d - Dir %d');
title(str);
xlabel('Fréquences [Hz]');
ylabel('Accel (G)');
legend( [A B C], 'Test A','Test B','Test C' );
filename = str;
saveas(figure(1),filename,'fig');
close figure 1

As I said above, the '...' are full filled with my data. It's a general scheme where I point out the problem that my legend isn't saved in the .fig figure.
Thanks if you can give me more explanations.

I'm sorry but i don't think it answers my question... Thanks, however.

export_fig (the most downloaded file from the File Exchange, and recommended by the FAQ) will save the entire figure or axes. I'd be surprised if saved everything except the legend.
