Description
When writing the figure to Matlab the default legend position is as shown below
However, there does not seem to be a way to edit this location such that it resembles the figure below. You need to manually go and edit the figure in plotly. This does seem possible in Python. But changing the orientation in Matlab by using
legend(legendData, 'Location','North','Orientation','horizontal')
does not produce the same figure once exported to plotly
