[Eeglablist] Legend Data Labels

[Delorme, Arnaud]

Hi Kiefer,

The compiled EEGLAB version should allow you to edit figures, and you should be able to run script that modify or print figures (or use the figure menu to do so).
The legend problem you are encountering would be the same under Matlab. This plotting function is not supposed to be used with legends.

Best wishes,

Arno

OTOH, what I, and many, do to create publication-ready figures is to save EEGLAB figures as PDF and then edit them in an app like adobe illustrator (or open source apps like inkscape)--there you can edit line colors and text to your heart's content.
