## Display a legend for the current axes using the specified strings
## as labels.  Legend entries may be specified as individual character
## string arguments, a character array, or a cell array of character
## strings.  Legend works on line graphs, bar graphs, etc.  A plot must
## exist before legend is called.
##
## The optional parameter @var{pos} specifies the location of the legend
## as follows:
##
## @multitable @columnfractions 0.06 0.14 0.80
## @item @tab north @tab
##   center top
## @item @tab south @tab
##   center bottom
## @item @tab east @tab
##   right center
## @item @tab west @tab
##   left center
## @item @tab northeast @tab
##   right top (default)
## @item @tab northwest @tab
##   left top
## @item @tab southeast @tab
##   right bottom
## @item @tab southwest @tab
##   left bottom
## @item 
## @item @tab outside @tab
##   can be appended to any location string
## @end multitable
##
## Some specific functions are directly available using @var{func}:
##
## @table @asis
## @item "show"
##   Show legends from the plot
## @item "hide"
## @itemx "off"
##   Hide legends from the plot
## @item "boxon"
##   Draw a box around legends
## @item "boxoff"
##   Withdraw the box around legends
## @item "left"
##   Text is to the left of the keys
## @item "right"
##   Text is to the right of the keys
## @end table
## @end deftypefn
