fill legend rectangles with color

hello,

I'd like to fill the legend rectangles in color (not just the frame as in the picture), how it can be done?

thanks!

What kind of graphic object are those for? Were you using rectangle() ? Or bar() ?

histograms (I'm ploting multiple signals from a detector)

Try this example

surf(peaks,'facecolor','none')          % plot peaks
surface(membrane,'facecolor','none')    % plot membrane
h = legend('surf','memb');              % show legend
h1 = get(h,'children');                 % get handle of each object in legend
for i = 1:length(h1)                    % loop through each object
    if strcmp(get(h1(i),'type'),'patch')% if an object is a patch
        cc = get(h1(i),'edgecolor');    % get edgecolor
        set(h1(i),'facecolor',cc)       % set facecolor
    end
end

wierd, I can see in your picture it is filled, but when I'm running it, it is hollow

Maybe you have newer version and there some some difference in handlers

Try to experiment with these
