I dont say that it is wrong but I am sure my friend just changed one little thing in the following code and automatically legend started to appear outside the graph on top right position and the symmetry of graph was not disturbed....He did not add anything special instead introduced "NorthEastOutside" somewhere in the code given below:

---------------------

Hey I have found the way to put it outside...see the changes I made to the code:

% Create legend if requested; base it on the top right plot
if (doleg)
gn = gn(ismember(1:size(gn,1),g),:);
h=legend(ax(1,cols),gn);
set(h,'Location','NorthEastOutside');

end

I simply set h as the legend and wrote it to be outside the plot.....
But anyways thanksalot for taking interest in my post :)) Keep up the good work "us"....

well... this mimics EXACTLY what i told you in my first reply(?)...

lh=findall(gcf,'tag','legend'); % <- instead of returning the handle H...
set(lh,'location','northeastoutside');

% now, since you seem to be happy with the solution(?) - and have actually
% changed the function(!), why not simply add

legend(ax(1,cols),gn,'location','northeastoutside');
