Legend and Bar in Matlab 2014b

[owensnick]

Hello,

Two issues with plot2svg in Matlab 2014b using the new handle graphics.

1. In the Matlab 2014b with legends are no longer axes and so are not supported by plot2svg.
   I had a look through the new legend object and a workaround is not immediately obvious. The new legend 'icons' are not Children of the legend object, despite having the legend as a parent. Any ideas for a workaround?
2. The bar charts now have type 'bar' rather than 'hggroup' as before and so are not supported by plot2svg. There are a few workarounds possible, perhaps the most straightforward is to use barV6 which is still in the matlab code base.

Thanks,

Nick

same here. Very serious issue

Same here, any solution? Comming from R2014a to R2016a.

did anyone manage to solve this now?

I basically gave up and started exporting my plots to svg directly from Matlab. Everything else that I've tried with plot2svg failed :-(.The other alternative would be to go back to Matlab previous to 2014. I sort of understand that is frustrating to keep changing code, because Mathworks decides to change figures objects properties.

The matlab function svg works fine until I need to import patches without changing the renderer to 'painters' (because then I need to import text as text, not vectors). So plot2svg is still needed here.

Bars and Legends are implemented in my fork: https://github.com/kupiqu/plot2svg

Beware that my fork presents many edits wrt to this repo
