Alignment of the Legend in Matlab Plot Figure

Question

I am trying to plot a figure with five sets of data with subplot is having individual legend but the problem is axis is getting mismatched when i trying to put the legend of plots having varies length of text.

x = [1:10];
y = 2*x;
z = x+1.25*y;
z1 = z+x;
subplot(4,1,1);
plot(x);
legend('x Variable','Location','NorthEastOutside');
subplot(4,1,2);
plot(y);
legend('y var','Location','NorthEastOutside');
subplot(4,1,3);
plot(z);
legend('z','Location','NorthEastOutside');
subplot(4,1,4);
plot(z1);
legend('z1 point','Location','NorthEastOutside');

All legends when location is 'NorthEastOutside' [when outside the plot] getting allocated right alignment of the legend. I want the data with equal axes length or left justified legend.

Is it possible to get the data with Left Justified without comprising on the axes length...?

Answer 1

This is one solution to make to width of all subplots the same

x = [1:10];
y = 2*x;
z = x+1.25*y;
z1 = z+x;
h(1)=subplot(4,1,1);
plot(x);
legend('x Variable','Location','NorthEastOutside');
h(2)=subplot(4,1,2);
plot(y);
legend('y var','Location','NorthEastOutside');
h(3)=subplot(4,1,3);
plot(z);
legend('z','Location','NorthEastOutside');
h(4)=subplot(4,1,4);
plot(z1);
legend('z1 point','Location','NorthEastOutside');

m=zeros(length(h),4);
for k=1:length(h)
    m(k,:) = get(h(k),'Position');
end

m(:,3) = max(m(:,3));
for k=1:length(h)
    set(h(k),'Position',m(k,:));
end

Answer 2

This solution is very similar to the answer of user3544639, but without loops and more generic as there is no need to give handles to all the subplots.

%// get all subplot axes handles of current figure
s = findobj(gcf,'Type','axes','Tag','');
%// get cell array with positions
p = get(s,'position');

%// masking of positons vector
mask = [0 0 1 0];

%// maximum width
max_width = max( cell2mat(p)*mask' );

%// assinging of new width
arrayfun(@(x) set(s(x),'position',p{x}.*~mask + max_width*mask), 1:numel(s));
